3. One government should NEVER be allowed to gather so much power it can bully
the entire rest of the world into submission. This is very good news, if it starts a trend. From the article:
Swiss authorities and European investigators acknowledge that they may never be able to arrest the U.S. agents, but the moves have added to strains in U.S.-European relations over how to combat terrorism.

The European Parliament on Wednesday approved a report accusing Britain, Germany, Italy and other European nations of turning a blind eye to CIA flights transporting terror suspects to secret prisons overseas in an apparent breach of EU human rights standards. Switzerland, which is not in the EU, is not mentioned in that report, which deals mainly with members of the 27-nation bloc.

"Might" really DOESN'T make right. Wouldn't it be worth a lifetime to see that proven, finally?
