Italy arrests their Director of Intelligence for helping CIA kidnap terrorism suspect.

Police have arrested a director at Italy's military intelligence agency on suspicion of helping the CIA in the alleged kidnapping of a terrorism suspect in Milan, officials said on Wednesday.

It is the first time an Italian official has been linked to the 2003 abduction of Hassan Mustafa Osama Nasr, also known as Abu Omar. Nasr says he was flown to Egypt and tortured.

The arrest of Marco Mancini, a director of a division of the Sismi military intelligence agency, was first leaked by judicial sources and later confirmed in a statement by former Italian President Francesco Cossiga.

An Italian court has issued European arrest warrants for 22 suspected U.S. agents over the abduction, but no Italians had been sought until now.

George Bush may be able to bully his way through our judicial system, that is now packed with his appointees, but he cannot pull that shit in other countries. These people are just not going to accept Bush's arrogant flouting of their laws.

I hope that they issue a warrant for George Bush's arrest. I hope that the rest of Europe recognizes the fact that George W. Bush is a war criminal and should be treated as such. He would be in no danger of arrest obviously, but it would keep him from flying around the world for these carefully orchestrated photo ops that make it seem that he is respected by countries that we know despise this man.

If our politicians are too timid to hold Bush accountable then I am afraid we will have to leave it up to the rest of the world to pass judgement on his policies.
