HOW DO YOU SAY DOG BITES MAN IN SWISS?:

Swiss may have known about secret CIA prisons (Scott Capper, 1/08/06, Swiss Info)

The Swiss intelligence community has allegedly been aware of secret CIA prisons in eastern Europe for nearly two months according to leaked documents.

The intelligence services refuse to comment on the affair, revealed by the Sonntagsblick tabloid, while Swiss senator Dick Marty who is investigating the prison claims for the Council of Europe, remains cautious.


Wouldn't it be a better exercise of news judgement to wait and just run a story if they can find anyone who didn't know about the program?
