Unsafe in Any Country

On Wednesday, a German court issued arrest warrants for 13 CIA operatives who kidnapped an innocent German citizen of Lebanese descent and took him to Syria to be interrogated and probably tortured.

That's on top of the 25 indictments that prosecutors are seeking against CIA agents in Italy.

The idea of the kidnapping or "extraordinary rendition" program was to make it so terrorists could never feel safe from American power.

But the result has been far different.

Now it's CIA agents who can't feel safe anywhere in the world.

I think we're on different pages here. I'm predicting a landslide for the Democratic presidential candidate in 2008. In that context, most of those competitive seats will probably be pretty safe.
