Council of Europe says Search CIA planes
The Council of Europe said that CIA jets travelling through Irish airports should be searched by gardai to ensure that prisoners are not being carried.
The Taoiseach's office has refused to release any information it has about the CIA's 'extraordinary rendition' flights, on the grounds that to do so may compromise the security, defence or international relations of the state.

In a written statement, Jack Straw, foreign secretary, disclosed that the UK had refused a US request in 1998 to refuel a flight carrying detainees en route to the US.
