Der Spiegel has a profile of Robert Lady, former CIA station chief in Milan, who is currently the subject of an international arrest warrant issued by Italian authorities for his part in the abduction of Abu Omar and his illegal transfer to Egypt where he was tortured. The Italian government is under great pressure from Washington to bring a halt to the trial which is due to open soon with the defendants in abstentia.
There have been suggestions that authorities in the US government, of much higher rank than the agents charged, are also culpable in the case including the increasingly irrelevant Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
I wouldn't be surprised if, all of sudden, the case just went away.
