MILAN (Reuters) - A Milan court has issued a European arrest warrant for 22 CIA agents suspected of kidnapping an Egyptian cleric from Italy's financial capital in 2003, Prosecutor Armando Spataro said on Friday.

Milan magistrates suspect a CIA team grabbed Hassan Mustafa Osama Nasr off a Milan street and flew him for interrogation to Egypt, where he said he was tortured.

Ahhhhhh, I smell hypocrisy being roasted....

This is what the legal system is really for, arresting criminals like these CIA agents. This article restores my dwindling faith in humanity. Those CIA agents should be sentanced to life.

Amando Spataro is a bizarre person. That guy is better than "James Bond" (himself).
Team him up with(in) another CIA section and Goss would be delighted :)

Im curious as to how the names of these CIA agents fell into the hands of something as trivial as Italian judicial officials.

Basically, it appears they were idiots:-

They managed to track down the 13 suspected agents through the Italian mobiles they used during the operation, the paper says.

The suspects are said to have used US passports to check in at several top-range hotels in Milan.

Of course, that seems plausible. But then we would have to assume that the CIA is neither capable of forging fake IDs and that CIA agents are customary to traveling with their own ID.
The cellphone ploy seems rather out of touch as well.

Im not saying what is described isnt the case, im saying that until more proof, plausible proof, is offered, im gonna choose to remain very spectic in regards to both the reporting done by BBC and Reuters, and the investigation qualities of the Italian governement.

Fair enough, but my personal opinion diffes to yours - I'd definately trust a bunch of scoop-hungry reporters from the BBC or Reuters far more than I would a CIA agent in an allied country!

I say:
I agree, and fall in the same camp. Should get interesting if any of the story other than this actually sees daylight.

With a satellite uplink and a small amplifier one can monitor cell phone calls without a warrant (they are broadcast on radio frequency). Moderately intelligent drug addicts know enough to avoid placing an order via cell, how could thirteen seasoned CIA veterans miss such a basic security procedure? I think its pushing the limits of credibility for the Italian police to claim they've identified that many actual CIA operatives and got the dirt on them through such a stupid error.

Haven't seen anything since the original story, can't help but wonder what is happening. It wouldn't suprise me though Mr. Munez. Christians In Action have made many mistakes, it wouldn't suprise me at all. They were probably using cell phones because they didn't want their illegal conversations taking place on the secure cellulars, where it could show up on an official record somwhere.
