A German citizen takes a ride on the CIA's "ghost" plane

Snatched off a bus while on vacation, flown out of the country by the CIA, beaten and imprisoned, and returned after five months, a German car salesman is finally getting somebody to pay attention.

In what could prove embarrassing to President Bush, Gnjidic added that a German TV station was planning to feature Masri's tale ahead of Bush's much-touted trip to Germany this week. German Interior Minister Otto Schily recently visited CIA Director Porter Goss to discuss the case, and German sources tell NEWSWEEK that Schily was seeking an apology. CIA officials declined to comment on that meeting or any aspect of Masri's story.

Today the CIA has dozens of detainees it doesn't know how to dispose of without legal procedures. "Where's the off button?" says one retired CIA official. "They asked the White House for direction on how to dispose of these detainees back when they asked for [interrogation] guidance. The answer was, 'We'll worry about that later.' Now we don't know what to do with these guys. People keep saying, 'We're not going to shoot them'."

Then I guess you better hold them until they die, because the news of what you do to them isn't going to improve your image.

U.S. officials insist the CIA has stopped rendering suspects to countries where they believe torture occurs.

Because you'll believe anything.

And when we invade Syria, we're going to hear about how for many years, through 2002, the CIA 'rendered' detainees to that country so they could be properly tortured. But your TV-watching friends won't.

The German's story.
