One would think that an apology would be in order...

Washington Post article

One thing is to capture an innocent, hold him without trial for several months, and beat him up. Quite another is to pretend it didn't happen afterwards.

That poor guy!

quote:
The CIA inspector general is investigating a growing number of what it calls "erroneous renditions," according to several former and current intelligence officials.

One official said about three dozen names fall in that category; others believe it is fewer. The list includes several people whose identities were offered by al Qaeda figures during CIA interrogations, officials said. One turned out to be an innocent college professor who had given the al Qaeda member a bad grade, one official said.

^^^ Well, at least the Professor had the luxury of being named by another prisoner. Masri was held "on a hunch".

Can someone tell me the fundamental difference between the WW2-SS and the "war on terror"-CIA?

The government can do whatever they want, sadly. :/

More like several apologies.
