Carsten Wiethoff Wrote:This one (http://www.ansa.it/web/notizie/rubriche/...41857.html) from Italy has a few more details:
Quote:Extraordinary rendition was first authorised by former American president Bill Clinton in the 1990s and stepped up when his successor George W. Bush declared war on terror after the September 11, 2001 attacks by Al-Qaeda.

During the trials the CIA had refused to comment and its officers were silent until Lady told an Italian daily in August 2009 that he was only following orders.

Lady, who has now retired, said from an undisclosed location that he was "a soldier...in a war against terrorism".
The Nuremberg defense. Didn't work then and wont work now. So, the orders came from above. The Bush Stae Dept. Or if he was only using that for cover maybe Langley?
"The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it." Karl Marx

"He would, wouldn't he?" Mandy Rice-Davies. When asked in court whether she knew that Lord Astor had denied having sex with her.

“I think it would be a good idea” Ghandi, when asked about Western Civilisation.
