EU approves report on CIA flights
Britain, Poland, Germany, Italy and other EU nations knew about secret CIA flights over Europe and the abduction of terrorism suspects by U.S. agents, according to a report approved by a special committee of the European Parliament.
Conservatives opposed to the document pushed through an amendment saying there is no evidence that CIA secret prisons were based in Poland -- an allegation that prompted the investigation in November 2005.
The report was backed by Socialists and Liberals; center-right deputies rejected it as ideological, biased and inaccurate. It was also criticized by some of the 13 European Union member nations implicated.
