Excerpts from the article:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“<\/strong>A non-binding resolution<\/a>, which passed 329-299, urged member states to \u201cinvestigate, insuring full transparency, the allegations that there were secret prisons on their territory in which people were held under the CIA programme.\u201d It also called on the European Union to undertake fact-finding missions into countries that were known to house American black sites.<\/p>\n

The resolution named Lithuania, Poland, Italy, and the United Kingdom as countries complicit in CIA operations.<\/p>\n

The Parliament also expressed \u201cregret\u201d that none of the architects of the U.S. torture program faced criminal charges, and that the U.S. has failed to cooperate with European criminal probes.<\/p>\n

Despite banning torture when he came into office, President Obama has fought all attempts to hold Bush administration officials<\/a> accountable, including by invoking the state secrets privilege<\/a> to block lawsuits and delaying<\/a> the release of the Senate Torture Report.“<\/strong> [1]
