Well, this won't be reported too much over here

This has ruined so many weekends on Lake Como:

An Italian court upped the sentences for 23 CIA agents convicted in absentia of abducting an Egyptian imam in one of the biggest cases against the US "extraordinary rendition" programme.

The 23 CIA agents, originally sentenced in November 2009 to five to eight years in prison, had their sentences increased to seven to nine years on appeal in what one of the defence lawyers described as a "shocking blow" for the US.


More evidence of the depravity of the rendition program. Although one does imagine that ol' Silvio had his mitts in this somewhere as well.

Too bad the rendition program discriminates and only rends those on this govt's hit list.

Atta, if Silvio had his mitts in this it's probably because -- with English being his second language, and all -- he thought "extraordinary rendition" meant a young, busty Italian chick pole-dancing to "O Sole Mio."
