German Prosecutor Issues 13 Arrest Warrants for CIA Agents

Via Scribe in the diaries:

Today, a prosecutor in Munich disclosed the existence of arrest warrants for 13 members of Ghost Air crews, relative to the kidnapping of Khaled al Masri from Macedonia to a US prison in Afghanistan. He was left to molder there for months while Condi and others debated exactly what to do with him, seeing as he really was the wrong guy. Ultimately, they had him flown back to and dumped off pretty close to the same spot he'd been kidnapped from. The US District Court has dismissed his tort suit, on the "state secrets" doctrine; he's appealing to the Fourth Circuit.

TalkLeft background on al Masri is here.

    Extraordinary Injustice (5.00 / 1) (#3)
    by David at Kmareka on Wed Jan 31, 2007 at 12:27:30 PM EST
    How is it that those who espouse the holiest of ends all too often utilize the unholiest of means? On the far end of the spectrum, certain Muslim extremists abroad seem to believe that anything goes--including suicide bombings, beheadings, and other sorts of mayhem--as they wage jihad against their enemies. Somewhere slightly to the left of these zealots on the spectrum, certain neoconservatives here seem to believe that anything goes--including torture, extraordinary rendition, indefinite detention, and the like--as the U.S. wages its war on terror against the aforementioned extremists (and anyone who even remotely appears to support or resemble them). Both the Muslim extremists and the American neocons believe that their cause is just and righteous and the actions they take in pursuit of such justifiable. However, regardless of their beliefs, the wrongs they commit or sanction are still morally and legally wrong. They are still harmful. And, as such, they are deserving of public censure and accountability.  It is nice to see the German courts taking that stance and pursuing the matter.

    Neocon philosophy (Strauss) embraces war as the ideal tool to be used to control the masses. That is their own masses. People are easily controlled when they are in a constant state of fear.

    Creating an enemy to kill is a fundamental piece of the neocon strategy. If it were not the Muslims it would be some other people.

    The neocons that have control over our contry are at least as radical as any radical muslim.

    Your link doesn't support your claim.  For starters, given how many bullets Israeli soldiers have left, and how many Lebanese civilians aren't dead, the claim that they killed "as many civilians as possible" is wild hyperbole at best.

    Airports are infrastructure for both military and civilian use.  So any civilians killed in the attack fall into the "collateral damage" category, not the "intentionally targeted" category.  You may not find the distinction morally significant, but lots of others do.

    And to say that Israel was not provoked is patently false.  They may have overreacted, but it was still a reaction to their soldiers being taken.

    And I'm not sure it says anything at all about neocons.  Occupying enemy territory in response to an attack is neither neo- nor -con.

     A Palestinian would kill four or five Israelis, the headlines blared, a few days later on page 12 it would read 200 to 300 killed in bombing and strafing runs on Palestinian refugee camps by the vaunted Israeli Air Force. This happened all the time.The people of this country don't know half of it

    The Israelis made it a practice to bomb the crap out've the Palestinians whenever some headline grabbing event distracted the media eg, hurricanes,overblown crime stories...

    I have my thoughts on it, but I really don't know - If you mean inside themselves. Externally? They want power and control. But why? To do what with, and why again? It's always been my suspicion that most control freaks are compensating for insecurity. The deeper and more terrifying their insecurities the more control they want.

    Curious that they end up coming up with a name like "war on terror" and that most of those they attack in it's name have never attacked them, instead of calling it a "war on those who attack", while the average person just finds ways to get along with others.

    It was noted here recently - I forget by who - that only crazy people  go after power positions like president, vice-president, AG, Senator, etc., and that the more sheer power inherent in the position the crazier the ones chasing the position are. Scared kids?

    ...every time someone tries to allege that Israel is the heroic defenders of the rule of law and savior to the Middle east.

    UN Res 242:

    The Security Council,

    Expressing its continuing concern with the grave situation in the Middle East,

    Emphasizing the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war and the need to work for a just and lasting peace in which every State in the area can live in security,

    Emphasizing further that all Member States in their acceptance of the Charter of the United Nations have undertaken a commitment to act in accordance with Article 2 of the Charter,

    Affirms that the fulfillment of Charter principles requires the establishment of a just and lasting peace in the Middle East which should include the application of both the following principles:

    Withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from territories occupied in the recent conflict;
    Termination of all claims or states of belligerency and respect for and acknowledgement of the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of every State in the area and their right to live in peace within secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force;

    Affirms further the necessity

    For guaranteeing freedom of navigation through international waterways in the area;
    For achieving a just settlement of the refugee problem;
    For guaranteeing the territorial inviolability and political independence of every State in the area, through measures including the establishment of demilitarized zones;

    Requests the Secretary General to designate a Special Representative to proceed to the Middle East to establish and maintain contacts with the States concerned in order to promote agreement and assist efforts to achieve a peaceful and accepted settlement in accordance with the provisions and principles in this resolution;

    Requests the Secretary-General to report to the Security Council on the progress of the efforts of the Special Representative as soon as possible.

    So, as all can see, the Jews have always been respectful of the UN, its resolutions, and abides by what the Security Council desires - NOT.

    I have nothing against Israelis but I do get sick unto the point of death at all the proclamations of how perfect, just, and law-abiding they are in their affairs.

    UN Resolution has been "on the books" and defied by the Israelis since 1967. Maybe they just haven't had time to comply with the wishes of the world.

    We would leave them alone if they would leave us alone?

    You're looking at the picture upside down and backwards.

    So your position is that by aiding the Jews we have given the radical moslems the right to attack us. By that logic you, at best, indicate that you have no support for the Jews because, as I am sure you must know, with that help, they could not have survived.

    I note you ignore the fact that one of the reasons we went into Kosovo was the killing of innocent Moslems.

    I note you ignore the fact that we went into Somalia because of the killings and starvations by the various war lords.

    I note you ignore the fact that we helped the rebels in Afghanistan.

    I note that you never criticize the UN for their debacle in Rawanda.

    I note you never note that when Egypt nationalized and siezed the Suzez Canal England and France were ready to move against them. We would join in and Egypt's future was assured.

    And "crazy rapturists?" Well, we all know that the evil Jews killed Christ and were scattered to the four corners of the earth. They deserve what they get. After all, isn't that what God wants?? (sarcasm)

    You started showing your colors last summer. Now the paint continues to flak off.

    Should be 'we armed AQ Afghanistan and taught them how to attack a superpower.'

    Excellent work, ppj shows that the US is responsible for 9/11, we armed and supported the terrorists.

    Wouldn't it be interesting if they were also found to be Mossad double-agents?
    Has anyone here ever tried to google Mossad?
    I did yesterday, trying to reference something about their False Flag ops, and found over 100 pages, just browsing through without even opening links (They're EVERYWHERE!...Hadn't even heard of some, like the stealing of NZ passports they got caught for a couple of years ago, and I always thought they were behind the London Bombings!)  and only got as far as page 45 before
    mt PC started acting wierd and I got the error message "This PC has performed an Illegal opperation" and got shut down. Then I remembered: Israel "acquired" all our our major communications infrastructure back in 2001....RIGHT BEFORE 9/11!
    So that smarmy little pocket-toady Gonzales cam smirk a la GW and promise to be Good now about the illegal snooping, and laugh up his sleeve, because he knows his Zio-buddies are already doing it FOR him!
    (Put THAT in your precious pipes and smoke it, all you compromised patriots and Israel-Apologists!)

    GrannyBgood said nothing about jews. The comment was about Mossad and Israel.

    Once again ppj invokes anti semitism when Israel is criticized. John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt proven right again.

    I am sure one of the hat models will fit your PC.

    As for the ones there, I recommend a good JuJu Man be used to get them out.

    9/11 a "retribution"? (none / 0) (#53)
    by GrannyBgood on Thu Feb 01, 2007 at 09:24:50 AM EST
    And 9/11 a "retribution"?!  
    No-doubt that is exactly what people are SUPPOSED to think, especially since anyone who's aware of what had been going on at the time(Sharon and Bush walking out on International Human Rights conference together after the REST of the world decided Israel's treatment of the Palestinians amounted to Crimes against Humanity, even as Sharon immediately used the ascension of the Neocons with the Bush "Installment" as an opportunity to crack down harder on them) would expect that. But there's PLENTY of new info, suppressed as it is, that points directly at Mossad involvement in 9/11, not the least of which was the capture of the Mossad agents in the white moving vans, dressed as Arabs, CELEBRATING and filming the towers collapsing (after all they don't look all that different when you dress them up right; that's why they get away with so many False flag ops blaming Arabs; plenty of DOCUMENTED instances! go Google Mossad!)
    Some of these Compromised Jewish Patriots here,who put Israels's interests above all else ought to try that little dress-up act and go live in the Occupied Territories awhile for a real eye-opener!
