A German car salesman says that a year ago he was kidnapped in Europe, beaten and flown to a US-controlled jail in Afghanistan. Now the German government is collecting evidence to back up his story.
US defence of tactic makes no sense says legal expert
"Rendition doesn’t become a tool in the war against terror unless people are being sent to a place where they can be interrogated harshly."
Oh, it now appears Condi DOES admit it.
U.S. admits wrongful detention
The Bush administration has admitted it mistakenly abducted a German citizen on suspicions of terrorist links, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Tuesday after meeting with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in Berlin.
Last time I checked, kidnapping and torture are crimes. Will The White House now instruct the Attorney General to prosecute whoever did it? Not a chance.
