Happy New Year! The Central Intelligence Agency abducts, Khaled El-Masri, a German national, in Skopje, Macedonia, because his name is similar to that of 9-1-1 (9/11/2001) recruiter, Khalid al-Masri. There is no tribunal or judge to check the evidence against those picked up by the CIA is also responsible for policing itself for errors.
Postscript: Masri was held for five months in Afghanistan where he was kept in a cold and dirty cell, that was continuously dark. He was severely beaten on his first night of captivity.
