"EU Parliament launches CIA probe

The European Parliament has set up a committee to investigate allegations of secret CIA detention centres and human rights violations in EU countries.

A temporary committee will ask if the CIA carried out abductions, 'extraordinary rendition' or torture on EU soil or in candidate countries.

Its 46 members were appointed on Wednesday and a chair and vice chairs will be appointed next week.

Claude Moraes MEP will be among the 46 and he is adamant the investigation will have more clout than the council of Europe’s ongoing enquiry."
