German citizens - and CIA activity within the sovereignty of the Federal Republic of Germany - are our business, no matter what you wish for. The case El-Masri is unquestionable a scandal. But then, Mr. El-Masri wasn´t that nice, too - he probably got money from the CIA after his release to be silent on his fate of the questionable 4 months. He took the money and talked about being kidnapped. As I said, not that nice.
What will we do when we´re attacked with hundreds if not thousands of deads? We´ll respond with all our might. But we´re not going to give up our basic rights. We´re already doing what we can with regard to counter-terroristic measures (tapping, intel activity, cooperation with foreign intel, screening suspects). I don´t think that there can be more done. Did you see much change after the London or Madrid bombings? We cannot and must not allow the terrorists to change our lives.
Fine. Then just sit there and wait to be attacked.
And bother us no more.
You hope you will respond with all your might. You won't.
You won't because you keep pretending that it is individual criminals doing this.
What you will do is hunt for a few individuals and ignore your dead.
