Journal Staff and Wire Report

Published: November 5, 2009

MILAN - An Italian judge found 23 Americans and two Italians guilty yesterday in the kidnapping of an Egyptian terror suspect, delivering the first legal convictions anywhere in the world against people involved in the CIA's extraordinary renditions program.

The Obama administration ended the CIA's interrogation program and closed its secret overseas jails in January but has chosen to continue the practice of extraordinary renditions. The Americans, who were tried in absentia, cannot travel to Europe without risking arrest as long as the verdicts remains in place.
