From Americablog:
"The rumors have now been confirmed. Unfortunately, many more beyond the countries named - Romania and Poland - probably knew about this but failed to act, possibly due to the shock of 9/11 and wanting to help a traditional ally. How the eastern countries could actively participate in this disgusting program after all they went through under Soviet occupation makes this all the more disappointing. This was a real low point of democracy."
Get over yourself. The low point of democracy is somewhere between Bush and Putin and that puts it right in Romania. Asking how can Eastern Euro countries "actively participate" in a torture program is like asking how can addict have a relapse. It's part of their programing, hardwired into their justice and law enforcement system. It will take a long, long time for them to overcome their own brutality, and it will only be spurned on through the examples of other democracies. Too bad the largest of those democracies encouraged such horrible behavior. Yet another thing to add to Bush's long list of crimes.
