#1 The Swedish must not know a damn thing about dealing with the transfer of felony prisoners. No strip searches or visual check of the body for secreted weapons? It's SOP upon recieving felony prisoners. Not doing so puts them and the persons taking them into custody at risk. Sweden must be full of idiots. This is basic practice for persons dangerous enough to need expedited transfer.

#2 After the death threat against me for mentioning some facts instead of fiction in a EU website that claims to be for discussion the EU press and web presence is looking more and more like full partners and members of the other side in the war on terror.

This Washington Times article leaves out some really troubling issues. How were they made aware of it. Why did it come to light at this particular time. Why do they care about the treatment of terror suspects more then terror victims. Why no outcry over Sudan, Nigeria.... et.al. Just little things that the US engaged in.
It truly looks like a full court press to smear and destroy the US.

#4 To summarize the article: Sweden decided to not to accept the appeal by these two men (and no doubt many others) and expelled them. Rather than attending to the repatriation themselves, they asked the American CIA to handle it for them. Someone leaked (probably one of the Swedish guards, who didn't like looking like an amateur in comparison), and now the Swedes are making the CIA scapegoats for their own decision.

Hypocrital asses.
