Keep in mind, 23 CIA employees have already been convicted and sentenced by an Italian court for a rendition operation.

None of these people can be located.



Oh they can be located, they are all living safely in US.


One would wonder what would happen if they where "rendered" to a prison in italy.


Well, if they end up at the Hague, there's always The Hague Invasion Act - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Service-Members%27_Pro...


Thanks for the link. Cant believe I never found this before during my regular sojourns through wikipedia.


Nobody wonders this at all.


The Italians can go pound sand. They had no problem allowing the lead Achille Lauro hijacker safe passage to Egypt. And in 2008 they release another Achille hijacker -- a murderer and PLO terrorist. I don't really care if the Italians had their sensibilities offended by rendition. Rendition never resulted in an Italian citizen's death, but the Achille Lauro incident certainly resulted in an American's death.

I am not making a statement about if rendition is good or bad; I'm only addressing the Italian's hypocrisy.


Nobody's clean, everybody got that. Can we move on, and aim for the best solution ?


Well, citing an Italian court as some sort of example is hilarious in my view.


It's good when people do good. Even if they've done bad in the past, good is still good. And Italy's prosecution of crimes committed on their own soil was both responsible and good.


Then pray tell, who is innocent enough to bring to justice and take care of the USA? Since they're obviously not able to do it themselves.
