S A T U R D A Y , J U N E 2 5 , 2 0 0 5Italy: Arrest C.I.A.</p><p> Operatives For Kidnappingby Michael in New York on 6/25/2005 12:09:00 PMThe US and the CIA have endured a lot of criticism forkidnapping people and sending them to countries where weknow they'll be tortured.</p><p> Now the CIA may have to enduresome arrests.</p><p> In Italy, the New York Times reports a judge hassubmitted arrest orders for 13 people who either work for orare linked to the CIA.</p><p> Imagine, a country that expects the USto follow its laws.</p><p> Two things struck me here, beyond theembarrassment for the US and the Berlusconi government.First, this note about where the CIA folk stayed:The [CIA] suspects stayed in five-star Milan hotels,including the Hilton, the Sheraton, the Galia and Principe diSavoia, in the week before the operation, at a cost of$144,984, the warrant says, adding that after Mr.</p><p> Nasr wasflown to Egypt, two of the officers took a few days' holidayat five-star hotels in Venice, Tuscany and South Tyrol.Who the hell do they think they are? US Congressmen? Second, thiscomment by an Italian official:A senior Italian official said the apparent abduction ofMr.</p><p> Nasr had disrupted the Italians' attempt toidentify his connection to a suspected terroristnetwork in Europe. "Our belief is that terrorist suspectsshould be investigated through legal channels and broughtto a court of law - not kidnapped and spirited away to betortured in some secret prison," the official said.Clearly, this guy is unpatriotic and weak in the war on terror.</p><p> Add New CommentYou are commenting as a Guest.</p><p> You may select one to log into: Logged in as Logout from DISQUSLogged in asusing Facebook Connect (Logout)Type your comment here.</p><p> HuffPost PoliticsHuckabee's Huck Pac In Turmoil With StaffTurnover, Mounting Debts - Former Arkansas Gov.Mike Huckabee's political action committee, HuckPac, is undergoing a "restructuring," ExecutiveDirector Sarah Huckabee said Wednesday....2 minutes ago Ben SmithGoing small - My story tonight: President BarackObama came alive about 50 minutes intoWednesday night’s news conference – whensomebo6 minutes ago Daily KosOpen Thread and Diary Rescue - *Today, srkp23(pulling a double shift), ybruti, taylormattd,ItsJessMe and vcmvo2 combed through hundredsof diaries to find this powerful list.</p><p> Today's...43 minutes ago EschatonOvernight - Folk On.</p><p> Newish.1 hour ago Crooks and LiarsOpen Thread - Open Thread below...1 hour agoJ O H N ' S P H OT O S Show AllA M E R I C A B L O G T V Next 6AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth: Italy: ...http://www.americablog.com/2005/06/italy-arrest-cia-operatives... 1 of 57/23/09 1:04 AMVisit ourAMERICAblog TV site.see all 322 videos >I collect with vodpod For the GOPers, healthcare is politics.</p><p> They just Traditional media has todebunk the birthers One small step...</p><p> The right-wing media, thevoices of the GOP, in REM - Orange CrushAMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth: Italy: ...http://www.americablog.com/2005/06/italy-arrest-cia-operatives... 2 of 57/23/09 1:04 AMThe TreatmentObama Has a Grown-UpTalk With America(Gulp)1 hour agoEzra KleinTab Dump5 hours agoWonk RoomSen.</p><p> Byron Dorgan:The ‘Trade’ InCap-And-Trade ‘MakesNo Sense To Me’6 hours agoHealth BeatTruth Squad: WallStreet Journal HealthCare Editorial Wrong onthe Facts . . .7 hours agoDaily DoseProviders Endorse 'Payfor Value' ProposalsG AY P O L I T I C S Visit our new gay politicssection, AMERICAblog Gay.F E E D S Blog RSS AMERICAblog TV RSS Twitter RSSTwitter Feed Get the blog by email: Subscribe me!
