Italy seeks extradition of CIA agents

This is regarding the "extraordinary rendition" of Abu Omar who was snatched off the street in Milan by CIA personnel. I'm really surprised that this hasn't just gone away like the similar case in Germany.

Prosecutors have requested Italy seek the extradition of 22 suspected CIA agents over the kidnapping of a terrorism suspect, grabbed off a street in 2003 and taken abroad, a judicial source in Italy said on Friday.

The request was delivered to Justice Minister Roberto Castelli.

The minister just returned from Washington, where he discussed the issue with U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, a U.S. justice department official in Washington D.C. said.


Oh, I would have loved to be a fly on that wall.
