· UK is urged to take lead in monitoring agents
· Scathing attack on Bush, ‘the King John of USA’
The head of Europe’s human rights watchdog yesterday called for monitoring of CIA agents operating in Britain and other European countries, after President George Bush’s admission that the US had detained terrorist suspects in secret prisons. Terry Davis, secretary general of the Council of Europe, said CIA agents operating in Europe should be subject to the same rules as British agents working for MI5 and MI6. “There is a need to deal with the conduct of allied foreign security services agents active on the territory of a council member state,” Terry Davis said. “In the UK there is parliamentary scrutiny of the intelligence services but there is no parliamentary scrutiny of friendly foreign services. The UK should be in the lead on this issue.”
