| Across Europe, countries are assessing the ghosts of the past to gauge to what extent their governments and spies were implicit in the CIA torture scandal.
A powerful British parliamentary committee will ask the United States to hand over redacted parts of the report into the CIA released last week. It's likely to be the first in a long line of European authorities assessing the report.
If parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) saw evidence of such behaviour, it could summon politicians from the left-leaning Labour party, such as former prime minister Tony Blair, who were in power at the time, its chairman, the former foreign secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind, said.
