Really? The Americans have used their bases in Poland and elsewhere in Fair Europe as part of their international network of secret prisons/torture stations. It may be that the EU as a whole or the individual states involved can't do much about what happens inside American bases, but all the same, it's clear that Europe is one link in the global gulag.
