CIA on Trial for Torture in Italy
BBC Story about trial of CIA goons in Italy
I feel sorry for them. They were only following orders when they kidnapped and tortured someone. I think they should just get away with an apology and box of chocolates. After all they are protecting... er... someone's freedoms (not quite clear who's atm).

To be clear: The US & Italian indictees are accused of abduction, not torture.
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

Anyone willing to bet that the US will extradite CIA operatives to a foreign country to stand trial?The Italian government has yet to decide whether or not it wishes to request their extradition.

Purely a PR exercise. Italy can appear to be taking a strong stand on something that in fact it can't alter.
Who said Italians were cowards ;)
An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.

Re: CIA on Trial for Torture in Italy
I was under the impression abducting someone's citizen from his own country was regarded as, you know, an act of war or something.
Damn me and my old fashioned views on decency and sovereignty.
Re: CIA on Trial for Torture in Italy
People that torture should be executed. Torturing is worse then plain murder.
Re: CIA on Trial for Torture in Italy
Agreed, it really bugs me though how they can still claim they don't torture.

I took out the obvious reference to the a certain criminal element in Ireland. But one should be careful in being obnoxious if one does not want it in return.
Errrrr ....thanks for the advice Red , but if you want to be obnoxious then you need a little more practice .
Re: CIA on Trial for Torture in Italy
Oh I left the really obnoxious part off there Tribes.
Errrrr ....thanks for the advice Red , but if you want to be obnoxious then you need a little more practice .
But instead of trolling like you do, I decided to play nice. However I can easily change that to reflect what I initially stated if you wish. You do know what criminal element in Ireland I refered to in the previous post?
Care to play that game with me once again?
O well, seems like 'some' people decide to ruin a perfectly valid threat. Nice going guys... doc bean
