RALEIGH, N.C. A former C-I-A operative accused of beating an Afghan prisoner who died in custody wants to question the attorney general and former head of the C-I-A.
David Passaro is facing four counts of assault.
However, documents unsealed in North Carolina show he plans on arguing he was acting under the authority of President Bush and former C-I-A Director George Tenet. And the papers show he has requested to be allowed to question Tenet and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
The Associated Press and other news organizations said in a request filed last month that the government was engaged in a secret prosecution of Passaro, a former Special Forces soldier.
There's no indication on when the judge may rule on his request.
LEX18 article
Maybe not, but you can be sure
what his ruling will be.
