Was reading an article in the LA Times this morning about a German citizen who was abducted by the CIA from Europe, flown to Afghanistan, and was treated in the sort of depraved fashion that only the CIA does. Only problem, he didn't do anything.
He's not asking for financial compensation for the mess the CIA made of his life. He's not asking for damages. He's not asking for the US to release sensitive information that would aid any US-invented terrorist, real or fictitious. He just wants the US government to say, "Oops, yeah, that guy didn't do anything." He's in limbo now. The US doesn't deny that he didn't do anything. They just can't take it that extra step to actually exhonorate him. Why not? They can't admit a mistake.
Read about it here at the LA Times website.
Yeah, and it's pretty shameful that Germany has to prosecute Americans. Actually, it's shameful that Americans need prosecuting.
