Will European Scandals Mark the Beginning of the End of American Torture Policy?

Analysts here in the United States are starting to suggest that the end of the Bush Administration's torture policy may be triggered by the morphing of the European part of this story. With the Italians looking to put 25 CIA agents on trial imminently and Europe still roiling from the European Parliament report on rendition, it may be that political earthquakes in the capitals of our closest allies may force the U.S. Congress and then the Bush Administration to rethink their current stance.

I do believe that before the U.S. torture story runs its course, we will see it bring down at least one government allied to the Bush Administration.....a good bet at the moment is the Blair government
