Italy's prime minister demands that the U.S. explain CIA criminality in his country

A half-dozen agents wearing hoods that covered their faces stepped down from and hurried across the tarmac to take custody of two prisoners, suspected Islamic radicals from Egypt. . . . Swedish officers watched as the CIA operatives pulled out scissors and rapidly sliced off the prisoners' clothes, including their underwear. . . . They probed inside the men's mouths and ears . . . before . . . draping hoods over their heads. The suspects were then marched in chains to the plane, where they were strapped to mattresses on the floor.

It's a serious breach of Italian law; it's absolutely illegal. Armando Spataro, deputy chief prosecutor, Milan, on another CIA kidnapping in Italy, The New York Times, June 26

----------------

Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is personally the closest ally of George W. Bush in the war on terrorism. On July 1, he publicly demanded, as The New York Times reported, that this country and implicitly its president "show 'full respect' for Italian sovereignty, after summoning the American ambassador and asking him to explain the reported abduction of a Muslim cleric by people associated with the CIA."

Already, Judge Chiara Nobili issued arrest warrants for the 13 CIA kidnappers whose identities had been solidly documented by Italian intelligence operatives. Those warrants, as reported too deep in the Times story, "will also be passed to Interpol, effectively requiring countries around the world to assist the Italian investigation."

1. Thugs in the CIA?? Bite your tongue! They're all sweethearts.

They were "protecting" us. The same way they've been doing since their founding. Why just look at all the wonderful work they've done spreading democracy to Iran, Honduras, Guatamala, Congo, Angola, Mozambique, Chile, Cuba, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, etc, etc, etc.

What do you want?? Justice for our patriotic, murderous, fascist, goons?

Tsk, tsk. We have to be "realistic" and murder tens of thousands of people, otherwise our Vital National Interests ($$$$$) might be compromised and the CEO's would have to give up their yachts and shower curtains.

Remember, that when they kidnap, torture, murder, it's being done in your name as a proud American!
