Condi's Hypocrisy

Here's Condi:
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice chastised Europe leaders today, saying that before they complain about secret jails for terror suspects in European nations, they should realize that interrogations of these suspects have produced information that helped "save European lives."
Let's say we believe her. Let's say they have saved some European lives. Are those lives more valuable than the lives destroyed? We can't assume that every life destroyed is the life of a mad, homicial terrorist as the Counterpunch story demonstates. In fact, knowing even a little of the history of the CIA or U.S. Military, we would tend to assume the opposite: that many innocents will be swept up by mistake, or neglect, or malice.
