HAMBURG, Germany (Reuters) - Lawyers for a Moroccan man accused in Germany of aiding and abetting the Sept. 11 attacks called Tuesday for President Bush (news - web sites) to be summoned as a witness.
Lawyer Udo Jacob, defending accused Moroccan Mounir El Motassadeq, said Bush should be called to testify about accusations he granted the CIA (news - web sites) powers to send terrorism suspects to foreign countries for interrogation.
The United States has already turned down a request for former CIA chief George Tenet to testify at Motassadeq's trial, and there is no prospect of Bush appearing in court.
But Jacob raised the issue to draw attention to the circumstances in which two al Qaeda leaders, whose evidence is central to the case, were captured and interrogated by the United States.
Washington has declined to allow the Hamburg court to question the two men, Ramzi bin al-Shaibah and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, but has made available summaries of information they revealed under questioning at unknown locations.

My guess is that the Nazis, er Germans, will use this as an excuse to let this guy go.
I'm sure the President will hop right over there.
They got into the news which could be the only thing they hoped to accomplish.

Far as I'm concerned, they missed their chance, they should have talked to him when he was here last month...oh well, better luck next time Hans!
I'm sure he'll go back for this. Stupid Hun Lawyers.
Nah, Bush is too busy liberating the Middle East from thousands of years of endless oppression.
