German national of Lebanese origin Khaled el-Masri sits at the start of his trial at court in March 2010
9 December 2010 - Washington pressured Berlin not to enforce arrest warrants against CIA agents involved in the alleged 2003 abduction of a German citizen, leaked documents showed Thursday.
The information, made public in diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks and first reported by the New York Times, involved Khaled el-Masri, a German citizen of Lebanese origin.
In one of the most notorious examples of alleged "renditions" of "war on terror" suspects under the government of former US president George W. Bush, Masri says he was abducted by US agents in Macedonia on December 31, 2003.
Masri said he was held and tortured in a secret US prison in Afghanistan before US agents realized he was innocent and released him, five months later, on an Albanian roadside.
"On the first day of my abduction, they told me that I was in a country where there were no laws," Masri said in a radio interview in 2005.
"I was hit and humiliated," he added. "I really thought I would never get out of there."
Press reports said that US agents confused Masri with an Al-Qaeda operative with a similar name and alleged links to the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States. {continued}
In 2003 some 72% of Americans fully supported the Abandoning of the Missions and those Sent to Accomplish so extremely Quickly after 9/11!!At least some 95%, if not more as less then 1% serve them, not only still support the, just below, total lack of Sacrifice, they ran from any and all Accountability and left everything still on the table to be continually used if the political/military want was still in play in future executive/legislative wants!!
