Condoleeza Rice still refuses to answer questions on secret CIA prisons in Europe.
Condoleeza Rice still refuses to answer questions on secret CIA prisons in Europe. Clearly Ms. Rice and the rest of the Bush administration needs to be told in no uncertain terms that international law applies to everyone, and makes no exceptions for Americans.
