Dick calls Condi in on the carpet

BERLIN (AFP) - US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice insisted here that the United States did not condone torture, as she won the support of Germany at the start of a tour beset by questions over secret CIA prisons.

In the first stop of the four-nation European tour, Rice said Tuesday that she and German Chancellor Angela Merkel had discussed "reports" that the CIA was using European airspace to fly terror suspects to secret prisons for interrogation.

Rice refused to be drawn on the existence of the prisons but reiterated her earlier comments that the United States did not revert to torture.
