"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased that the appropriateness of European countries accepting prisoners from Guantánamo has now been acknowledged, an idea that strangely was missing from my group’s original resolution. I entirely agree with Messrs Schulz and Watson. The first point of the resolution mentions the important changes in United States’ policy concerning humanitarian laws. I see some changes, certainly in tone, but also considerable continuity with the politics of the ‘detested’ Bush, given that President Obama has not abandoned the programme of extraordinary renditions and CIA prisons in foreign countries. I say this for the attention of the Czech Presidency, which seems to have a different idea. I would not wish Obama enthusiasts to suffer any early disappointment. Anti-US propaganda, already active in the CIA committee two years ago, has returned in the oral question on CIA flights in Europe. I shall give you just one example: in one recital, the existence of a secret CIA organisation in Poland is exposed. Now the fact that there is a CIA organisation in a country like Poland should not come as a shock – it would be strange if there were not – but I believe that the signatories to the question are annoyed that this organisation should be secret. They would always want secret services to act without secrecy, openly, and the CIA aeroplanes to have ‘CIA’ displayed on their aircraft as if they were or Here again, I fear that they are going to be disappointed: not even Obama would go that far."@en1
