Mar 18 at 14:16 comment added Alexei @Hobbamok I am mostly interested in the rationale for the Romanian/Lithuanian governments for allowing them.
Mar 18 at 14:10 comment added Hobbamok Are you asking about the US's rationale for having them there? The Romanian /Lithuanian (government) rationales for allowing them?

Jun 18, 2018 at 19:20 comment added Alexei @notstoreboughtdirt - "money or other value coming from the US" sounds like a good point if at least one reference can be used to sustain such an idea. Clearly, there was a significant motivation behind these actions.
Jun 18, 2018 at 17:14 comment added user9389 What would an answer look like? Are you interested in other examples of either of those countries behaving poorly without US involvement? Maybe an estimate of money or other value coming from the US at that time or later? A description of who exactly is responsible for advancing the apparently contradicting policies?

Jun 18, 2018 at 14:15 comment added SJuan76 To be fair, other EU countries were rather happily looking the other way while the CIA used their airports to transport the imprisoned people. It was only when the press put the whole affair in the spotlight that measures were taken against it.
Jun 18, 2018 at 13:56 comment added guest271314 @Alexei Remaining within the EU there is the case of Italy (already a member of the EU) which allowed "extraordinary rendition" to occur within their nation, where the individuals whom were "rendered" could have been taken to those same facilities; is Italy just as culpable?
Jun 18, 2018 at 13:45 comment added Alexei @guest271314 - I do not know, but the political context is quite different. One knows that this type of acts are a no-no within EU, so it is unclear when done by aspiring countries. Hosting a couple of alleged terrorists seems less important than joining the EU. The only justification I can think about is related to the newly admittance within NATO (2004) for both countries shortly before the events.
Jun 18, 2018 at 13:35 comment added guest271314 Does the question propose that the rationale for Romania and Lithuania was different from Kenya, Thailand or the other nations who also act(ed) as hosts for the activities of the entity? Or that the focus of the inquiry is only for the two nations mentioned at the original question, irrespective of the rationale of other nations whom were also hosts of the entity?
