CIA's Extraordinary Antics Italy Video Pt1
Contributed by J. R. Ransom
Max Keiser in Milan
"Torture Chic" In the first of two videos (13min 19sec), Max Keiser is tracing the CIA's activities in Milan. Twenty-six American CIA operatives stand accused of the kidnapping of
an Egyptian cleric from the streets of Milan. The defendants, including
an Air Force colonel and two CIA station chiefs, are being tried in
absentia at the Milan Palace of Justice for the 2003 abduction of
Hassan Mustafa Osama Nasr, also known as Abu Omar.
The CIA
tactic under scrutiny is called 'extraordinary rendition', and it is
the first time the CIA will go to trial for its use. 'Extraordinary
rendition' involves the capture of a terrorism suspect in one country
and his transfer not to the US, but to a third country for
interrogation - without court orders or judicial oversight. The Italian
prosecutors claim Nasr was taken to US bases in Italy and Germany
before being taken to Cairo, Egypt. Nasr says he was tortured while
imprisoned for four years in Cairo.
In many cases, including
this one, the suspects have said they were tortured, and their claims
are supported by the evidence of international human rights
organisations.
Financial activist, Max Keiser, has been on the
trail of the kidnappers in Milan, and he reveals how disregarding the
rule of law could prove a costly business.
Max Keiser is founder of Karmabanque Radio and the Truth About Markets. Max Keiser created the Hollywood Stock Exchange and Kinooga.
