February 24, 2011 - In the aftermath of ‘revelations’ made by esteemed Western media outlets that Raymond Davis is a CIA operative, when a debate on immunity for secret service personnel might just be on the anvil in Pakistan, it will not be a bad idea for the jailed American advocates to revisit the famous Abu Omar abduction case in Italy to know how law had also taken its course against the otherwise much-feared sleuths working for this premier spy agency.
A career US diplomat, a CIA station chief in Milan (Italy) and a serving American air force colonel were among the 23 alleged US secret service personnel convicted in absentia by an Italian court in November 2009, in a case involving the rendition and torture of a Muslim cleric called Abu Omar, who was the Imam at this industrial city.
Abducted from the streets of Milan in broad daylight on February 17, 2003 and transported to Cairo via Germany, Abu Omar was picked up by CIA in collaboration with the Italian spy agency. In Cairo, Omar was interrogated and allegedly tortured.
This case was picked by the international media as one of the better-documented cases of
extraordinary rendition carried out by the CIA in the context of the “War on Terror” declared by the Bush administration.
The CIA operation had interrupted a surveillance programme that was being carried out by Italian authorities into Imam Omar’s alleged participation in terrorism-related activities. Omar was released by an Egyptian court in 2007, which ruled that his detention was “unfounded”. {continued}
We know the costs in blood, never to totally in civilians, but what of the costs in treasury still not paid! How much to buy the coalition of the willing, how much to buy the CIA rendition and secret prisons globalizing torture, how much for the decades to come as to the results of both wars, more. Neither has been paid for, rubber stamping and rapid deficit rises started Before 9/11 and nothing as to the peoples responsibility, the VA, as to just one of the needs in those results from!
