Catchme Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 Germany has ordered the arrest of 13 suspected CIA agents over the alleged kidnapping of one of its citizens. Munich prosecutors confirmed that the warrants were linked to the case of Khaled al-Masri, a German national of Lebanese descent. Mr Masri says he was seized in Macedonia, flown to a secret prison in Afghanistan and mistreated there. He says he was released in Albania five months later when the Americans realised they had the wrong man The US government is not assisting the German authorities with the case. If the case proceeds to trial, it would be the first criminal prosecution over America's rendition policy. Quote When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die. ~Jean-Paul Sartre

The Bush Adminstration knew they were breaking all manner of laws, norms, and standards for international behavior, and in some cases, committing war crimes. Thus, they demanded exemption from any prosecution for anything they did in the name of "freedom". Quote
