Rendition Alert: "Gerrmany Issues CIA Arrest Orders!

[KoKo]

Germany issues CIA arrest orders
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.

Mr Masri says his case is an example of the US policy of "extraordinary rendition" - a practice whereby the US government flies foreign terror suspects to third countries without judicial process for interrogation or detention.

Prosecutors in Munich said in a statement that the city's court had issued the warrants on suspicion of abduction and grievous bodily harm.

....last week a European Parliament committee approved a report saying EU states knew about secret CIA flights over Europe, the abduction of terror suspects by US agents and the existence of clandestine detention camps.

for them'? God really need to help this country and I am not at all into this God stuff but some one has to save us from these two nuts in the WH. How could people who call them self good Am. have ever voted for two such fools who think they are right about every thing? They needed my civics teacher I guess.

2. I just want to freaking go nuts

Here is a country that had a checkered past concerning shipping detainees off to "prisons" and actually doing what we should be doing about this regime. I DO NOT WANT IMPEACHMENT I WANT THEM ARRESTED, TRIED AND IMPRISONED.
