Dwyer Hill Stables outside of Ottawa was where Canadian show-jumping champ Ian Millar trained his horses, and boarded others at a HUGE cost (think the equivalent of renting a 1-br apartment in New York). It was gorgeous, perfect, and it was later bought by CSIS/RCMP to train their super-secret cop/spy ninjas. And a little piece of my childhood died when I found out.

When I was a Master Torturer when I got off work I used to use some of my CIA surplus gear to bug the phones of and spy on the bedrooms of Lindsay Lohan and Betty White, just so I could relax.
Clearly, this is a better way.

BTW, if he was interrogated in Italy, it would have just been slapping each other. #italy

btw... Leon Panetta would agree with you wholeheartedly.
(And if Mr. Panetta was a friend o' the mob, he would probably agree with you even more.)
I get a very Michael D. Brown vibe from this fellow. Maybe it's his interest in ocean water and affinity for seahorses?
"Panetta has long been an advocate for the health of the world's oceans. As a member of Congress from California’s 16th District, he wrote numerous successful acts of Congress to protect the California coast, including legislation creating the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.[19][20][21] In 2003, Panetta was named chairman and commissioner of the Pew Oceans Commission, which in 2005 combined with the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy to establish the Joint Ocean Commission Initiative. Panetta now co-chairs the Joint Ocean Commission Initiative with Admiral James D. Watkins, U.S. Navy (Ret.).[22] Panetta continues to pursue his commitment to ocean and marine life issues, serving as a resource for legislators and the media, advocating for ocean reform on behalf of the Joint Ocean Commission Initiative as well as other ocean organizations, including the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation[23] and the Monterey Bay Aquarium.[24]
In 2006 he was part of the Iraq Study Group, also known as the Baker Commission"

These 22 guys won't be able to travel to much of anywhere in Europe, since intra-European extradition is a breeze. #italy

Grazie, I was looking for links that would validate the claim that Italian spies are incompetent. This could also be done with a movie about a viagra-popping Clouseau-like character, codenamed "Beppo De Gennaro." Is Marcello Mastroianni still around?

This looks like more fun than Dante's Inferno, and a much quicker read. Any up for translating 9 pages of butt-gusting Italian?

"Here, Italian law rules, not American law or any other law," he said.
Ok, "extraordinary rendition" does not trump the Italian law. What about "we are the land of freedom"? I'm pretty sure that one trumps all laws in all foreign countries. Not to mention all logic in the entire Universe too!

@Niko Bellic: Chuck Norris trumps all laws in all foreign countries.
Chuck Norris is the law.

In all seriousness, what would the US do if a bunch of Italian secret agents kidnapped our CIA torturers? Complain? I don't see Obama invading Italy, even if he'd like to deck the Berlusconi. #italy
