I'm doing casual math and 36 mistakes out of 3000 snatches doesn't sound abnormal. The only thing strange is the admission to the Germans when the fellow could have been returned without comment.
And who is the spikey haired chick authorizing the snatches? She sounds like a keeper.

Ratz, missed the IB4Z! I was too involved in watching football to post my usual "Welcome to FR. Enjoy your stay, however long it may be".
Oh well, better late than never, I guess!

How many times do you hop on a bus to Macedonia because of a spat with your wife while unemployed to let off steam?
This whole thing reeks of major CIA/State Department leak campaign and combined with the Plame Blame Game and authorized CIA smear books published during an election year is quite nauseating. One would think the DNC hired the CIA as of a midterm election year dirty tricks operator or something. Here is a Guradian link.

It's interesting that the CIA cannot differentiate between a real passport or fake one. That's what my $40 billion dollars purchases. Thank God for the Hellfire Hit this week otherwise I would be so ticked!
Also Dana Priest knows all these poor innocent CIA victims. Wonder if this great reporter can locate Osama for us instead? It might save a few lives?

Ambassador Daniel R. Coats carried instructions from the State Department transmitted via the CIA's Berlin station because they were too sensitive and highly classified for regular diplomatic channels . . .But not to sensitive to leak to fifth columnists in the Washington Post. Personally, I think everyone above the level of secretary in the CIA should be fired, then asked to reapply. Rehire only those with clean background checks, exncluding any with checkered history of working on behalf of fifth columnists back in their college days.

Doubtless most would describe this situation as "suspicious as heck." Similar name to high profile terrorist, found on an odd errand, and apparently nobody knew what the high profile terrorist actually looked like.
Given that however, I too am majorly peeved that the apparent difference between this man's freedom and captivity hinged on nothing more than the authenticity of a German passport. Someone is grossly incompetent and/or still lying.

Have you noticed how this issue has gotten virtually no airtime on FR? Supposedly, Masri was going to file his lawsuit in the USA today. Did that get called off? Why should there even NEED to be a lawsuit? -- I'd think that the administration should want to bend over backwards to make it up to those who due to no malfeasance of their own found themselves in the belly of the beast. And make it plain to the whole world that they were doing so.

ACLU Complaint, El-Masri v. Tenet, was filed December 6, 2005.
Complaint <- 240 kB PDF file
http://www.aclu.org/natsec/emergpowers/22207prs20051206.html
WASHINGTON -- The American Civil Liberties Union today announced the first ever lawsuit against former CIA director George Tenet challenging the CIA's abduction of a foreign national for detention and interrogation in a secret overseas prison. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Khaled El-Masri, an innocent German citizen victimized by the CIA's policy of "extraordinary rendition." ... The lawsuit, El-Masri v. Tenet, will be filed this morning in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.
El-Masri is represented by Ann Beeson, Ben Wizner and Melissa Goodman of the ACLU National Legal Department, Paul Hoffman of Schonbrun DeSimone Seplow Harris & Hoffman, LLP, Rebecca Glenberg of the ACLU of Virginia, and Victor Glasberg of Victor M. Glasberg & Associates.

I found the complaint (linked at post above) while searching for examples of ACLU stories that cite the names of counsel.
