Scott Horton details the Italian court decision finding some of the CIA agents involved in kidnapping a suspected Arab terrorist from Italy.
I say Good for Italy. Kidnapping a guy who’s only “suspected” is bad enough, but sending him off for torture in Egypt? That’s a crime.
And let’s face it, if the UK had ever kidnapped American resident who supported the IRA back when it was a terrorist group, we’d have reacted with outrage (or any other American citizen accused of anything).
And it’s not as if the guy was going to walk away scott-free: Italian police were already on the case, but the CIA moved in before they could arrest him, as detailed in The Washington Post.
Meanwhile, over in Afghanistan, their police and officials are understandably upset about American plans to capture or kill suspected drug kingpins. Honestly, don’t these people realize their country belongs to us now?
