Such influence buying on behalf of another foreign country would never be tolerated, and it should be reigned in. Israel is a grave threat to the American people and we should force our government to disengage from this very negative and counterproductive relationship. Those working on their behalf should be required to register as foreign agents, which they, in fact, are. I consider the Israeli "lobby" an insiduous threat to our people. I am not antijewish but I oppose the efforts of any foreign nation to control our foreign policy to their benefit.

Bush wants to replace him as UN Ambassador with Zalmay Khalilzad who is also a PNAC member and was one of the signers of the January 26, 1998, PNAC Letter sent to President Bill Clinton. Zalmay Khalilzad had been Ambassador to Afghanistan and before that Khalilzad was an advisor for the Unocal Corporation. Do you suppose his selection had anything to do with the pipeline?

There may be a lot of EU leaders gravely concerned about this:

The European parliament has approved a damning report on secret CIA flights, condemning member states which colluded in the operations.

They cooperated with Bush in committing crimes against humanity, in violation of many international agreements including several provisions of the European Union Convention on Human Rights:

ARTICLE 3
No one shall be subjected to torture or to inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.

ARTICLE 5
Everyone has the right to liberty and security of person. Everyone who is arrested shall be informed promptly, in a language which he understands, of the reasons for his arrest and the charge against him.
Everyone arrested or detained in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 1(c) of this article shall be brought promptly before a judge or other officer authorized by law to exercise judicial power and shall be entitled to trial within a reasonable time or to release pending trial.

ARTICLE 13
Everyone whose rights and freedoms as set forth in this Convention are violated shall have an effective remedy before a national authority notwithstanding that the violation has been committed by persons acting in an official capacity.

There may be a number of high-ranking ministers who are suddenly very concerned about how their turning a blind eye to the CIA flights will come back to haunt them.
