The Al-Masri case about the alleged abduction of a German-Lebanse is a never-ending cause for the German media to pound the U.S. government and the CIA in particular for unlawful behavior.
Looks like the German media chase the wrong guys:
(A report in the Financial Times Deutschland) gives reason to wonder whether it is not rather Al-Masri that Germany should be arresting. Citing an unpublished memorandum of Germany's Federal Bureau of Criminal Investigations (BKA), it notes, among other things, that Masri had been kept under surveillance by the German police and at least since October 2003 was considered to be a "partisan of military jihad." Note that October 2003 was some three months before Masri's alleged "abduction" by the CIA in Macedonia.
Read the whole story at John Rosenthal's Transatlantic Intelligencer.
Nah. Can't be. It's not in any of the media here. A Masri is a Masri, isn't it? Also reminds me of how every western intelligence service agreed about the existence weapons of mass destruction in Iraq before the war. Afterwards nobody wanted to talk about their own failures there anymore, it was all just about the CIA.
