Where will Obama’s Eurocentric worldview lead? Yesterday’s news tells of Italy’s conviction, in absentia, of 23 Americans (CIA agents) charged with kidnapping Osama Mustafa Hasan Nasr and taking him out of Italy and eventually to Egypt. No question of Nasr’s terrorist connections as Italian security forces were cooperating with our CIA operatives. The conviction violates a long-standing principal of international law that officials of foreign governments operating within a country with official consent are immune from prosecution.
Today’s WSJ editorial makes the cogent and obvious point that if American intelligence officials can’t safely cooperate with their in-country counterparts, the both nations are less safe.
We saw in May the results of the Obama worldview when Spain’s top investigative judge launched a new criminal investigation into allegations of torture at Guantanamo Bay indicating that he would investigate high-level Bush administration officials!
Has Obama’s bowing and scraping and apologizing for America taken us to this new low? Does he intend to completely sacrifice US sovereignty to the filth of the UN?
I fear for our nation and our security under this president. And like the 23 US intelligence operatives “convicted,” I will no longer travel to Italy nor will I buy any of its products. Italy, Spain…the shit list is getting longer! Wonder who’ll be next?
