"Mr President, we as Europeans must clarify whether CIA detention centres exist in Europe, how many there are and where they are located, etc. As a citizen of the Balearic Islands I have a special interest in this. The end does not justify the means. We must defend our values. We may be fighting terrorism, but we cannot do so with arms that are not democratic.
We understand why US organisations and institutions, including the CIA, are being closely protected, especially in Eastern Europe, where so much hope for change has been pinned on the United States. However, not placing limits on the means we employ makes for a terrible contradiction, since democracy and transparency are fundamental to the maintenance of law and order and to democracy itself. Human rights are applicable to all human beings, including terrorists and suspected terrorists. I therefore call on the Commissioner to investigate this issue."@en1
