Rendition in the news again

As the New York Times reports, a memo leaked in the U.K. suggests the U.K. government allowed CIA flights with suspectes being rendered to use their airports and airspace. This will hopefully lead to an investigation on whether the Blair government broke the law by allowing this. The memo is described as:

The British government may have permitted the use of its airspace and airports for American rendition flights more frequently than it initially acknowledged, according to a leaked document published today in a British weekly magazine.

The memo - said to have been written around last Dec. 7 by a Foreign Office official, Irfan Siddiq, to Grace Cassy, an official in the office of Prime Minister Tony Blair - seemed likely to deepen concerns across Europe about the extent of clandestine flights operated by the Central Intelligence Agency.
