CIA Prisons Could Threaten EU Participation of Nations

EU Justice and Home Affairs Commissioner Franco Frattini warned on Monday that any EU nation found to have operated secret CIA prisons could have their EU voting rights suspended.
Frattini's comments came as the Council of Europe -- the continent's main human rights watchdog -- is investigating reports that the CIA set up secret jails in some European nations and transported terror suspects by covert flights. It has urged governments to provide information on the issue.
