Isto é uma descarada mentira: UE considera ilegais as prisões secretas de Bush
Basta ler o título da própria notícia: "EU ministers fail to adopt official text on CIA camps"
E o resto do texto [negritos meus]? "EU foreign ministers have failed to agree on an official statement on the secret CIA jails and instead allowed the Finnish EU presidency to read out a "press line" with hardly any status. [...]
But ministers finally agreed only on a move which has the lowest diplomatic status possible at EU foreign ministers meetings - a "press line" not forming part of the official conclusions and not being an official declaration. [...]
A Finnish presidency contact said the press line "has no official status," with one EU diplomat adding that two member states in particular ? the UK and the Czech Republic ? still disliked the wording. [...]
The Guantanamo statement was not even read out by the presidency and was solely prepared for the event that journalists would raise the issue in the press briefing after the meeting."

[BTW: Barroso denies knowledge of Portugal CIA flights]
