Italy Judge Orders Arrest of 13 CIA Agents

I hate being so smart!. On a recent blog ( June 04, 2005 - Bush nixes torture) I pointed out WHY Bush can be so moral, so gallant, so Democratic, in rejecting torture. Simply because he will use his 3rd world "allies" to do it for him.
Case in point: Italy has issued arrest warrants for 13 CIA agents who "spirited" away a suspected Muslim terrorist, from Italy to Egypt where he reportedly was subjected to torture. His "transfer" was done without prior court approval from Italy where the suspected terrorist was living at the time.

In summation, this will only further strain the U.S. / Italian relationship, which suffered a huge blow when a kidnapped Italian reporter was rescued by their military, only to be shot by U.S, military personnel at a checkpoint in Iraq. See here and here

And do you really think the U.S. will turn over ANY of its people for trial in another country? Of course not, BUT they expect, no demand that, universally from the rest of the world. Ahh the pleasures of being the "bully", the fastest gun in the world. But sooner or later the U.S. will get their comeupance, and sadly ALL of us will suffer for crimes of Bush and his cohorts.
