Well, it's about f'g time.
Today, a prosecutor in Munich disclosed the existence of arrest warrants for 13 members of Ghost Air crews, relative to the kidnapping of Khaled al Masri from Macedonia to a US prison in Afghanistan. He was left to molder there for months while Condi and others debated exactly what to do with him, seeing as he really was the wrong guy. Ultimately, they had him flown back to and dumped off pretty close to the same spot he'd been kidnapped from. The US District Court has dismissed his tort suit, on the "state secrets" doctrine; he's appealing to the Fourth Circuit.
But, they can't touch the German Courts (yet). The story was the lead today on German TV network ARD's evening news program, Tagesschau. The text, translated by yours truly from the website, follows:
CIA officers under suspicion in the case of the kidnapping of al-Masri
Arrest warrants issued against 13 suspects
A Munich court has issued arrest warrants against 13 responsible agents of the US secret service CIA because of suspicion of their involvment in the kidnapping and abuse of the German citizen Khaled al Masri. The State Prosecutor for Munich (Part I) disclosed this today in a press conference.
