12/05/2006 (Agence Europe) - The EP's temporary committee investigating alleged CIA secret flights in Europe and the illegal 'rendition' of terror suspects seems disappointed with its interviews in Washington on 8 to 12 May. In a press release, Green MEPs Cem Ozdemir and Jean Lambert explain that the US Administration has been putting pressure on its officials to prevent them cooperating with the investigation.
