These CIA agents have just lost their ability to travel abroad. Their careers are now desk jockeys in the dear old USofA.
A lot of countries will arrest them on sight if they are caught abroad.
Do you think they will send them for rendition?
Fairs fair ...
You are so right LLL. They'll have to make up whole new portfolios on these guys for they have been indicted and if they are caught in any country that doesn't like us or the CIA, they can bet they'll be extradited to stand trial. That's the way it works in the real world and shock of all shocks, there ARE countries that don't like us OR our CIA. Spies just aren't that popular.
This is probably dreaming, but I'm hoping for a time when CIA Agents, and Armies are something in a museum that people take their kids to and show how stupid the 19th and 20th century was. At some point being a bad ass is just plain childish.
GG: "In Quebec, FBI agents have turned up dead, floating in the river. "Turds" they call them up there. No one is invincible nor above the law, the last administration egos notwithstanding."
So, is killing FBI (really? not CIA?) agents and tossing their corpses in rivers an object lesson re: due process?...
I would like to read a time line for how the legal decisions were made for saying that renditions were legal then moving onto more aggressive intteragation techniques. my hunch is that it was progressive with no major big jump but each attorney just widening a loophole or interpretation of the law a bit at a time.

It's an object lesson in how much we are disliked in some countries, especially our FBI agents who are by law restricted to working only in the US. They are our federal police force whose jurisdiction ends at our borders. It would be iike Canada sending its Mounties down here to work against US citizens.
When it comes to spying and especially some tactics the CIA use and, yes, even the FBI, 'due process' has nothing to do with it. Both conduct black ops that include even murder.
Some countries take International Laws very seriously and enforce them. If we sign treaties but then look the other way, history tells us it's only a matter of time before it comes back to bite us in the ass.
It's tiyime...
