Former CIA contractor says he is scapegoat


(RALEIGH) - The former CIA contractor accused of beating an Afghan detainee who later died says he is a scapegoat or the Bush administration.

David Passaro tells the News and Observer in a jailhouse interview that the government wants to make an example of him.

The 39-year-old former Special Operations soldier is charged with beating detainee Abdul Wali with his hands and feet and a metal flashlight. Wali, who reported about rocket attacks on the American base in a remote area, died later.
