I have no symapthy for her at all
--------------------------------------

A former CIA officer spared jail time in Italy tells Fox News that despite her commutation, she may be forced to testify to Italian lawmakers about the secret post-9/11 “rendition” program – and warns the testimony could be extremely "damaging."

"The Italian Intelligence Oversight Committee has contacted my lawyer in Italy asking that I come testify on a CIA operation," Sabrina de Sousa said. "Several members have been pushing the Italian intelligence services for release and declassification of documents related to this case."

De Sousa is speaking out about her decade-long ordeal, which started when an Italian court convicted her in absentia -- along with two-dozen others -- connected to the 2003 U.S. government-sanctioned kidnapping of cleric Abu Omar.

Under President George W. Bush's rendition program, Omar was snatched from Milan, Italy, and flown to Egypt, where he claimed to be tortured. De Sousa says the evidence was weak and Omar was eventually released, but she is still living a legal nightmare.

In February, after CIA Director Mike Pompeo and others in the Trump administration intervened, de Sousa's case seemed to be near a resolution. The Italian president reduced her sentence from four years to three, in turn opening the door to non-prison sentences, and de Sousa returned to the U.S. But De Sousa said she must still return to Italy to do community service, which has been described by her lawyer as the equivalent of house arrest in that country. And once back in Italy, she expects to be called to testify before the Italian government's version of the Senate intelligence committee about U.S. government secrets.

"I think it will be damaging for both countries because at this point, right now, Italy, the previous Prime Minister Renzi, asserted state secrets over everything Italian, and in the U.S. everything's classified," de Sousa explained.

I am unclear as to your motivation here ? Are we to feel sorry for her or condemn her ? The CIA is it's own worst enemy at times !
What I do know is that I do not throw my men to the wolves but that will never stop us from undertaking extractions if needed .

 

I think the point is that "extractions" need to within a legal framework!

Legal and necessary are in conflict at times but I get your thought process .

 

I'm surprised the CIA has not destroyed all records of her. That is the first thing they do burn all ties and any record of a person that could cause them issues.

 

To disavow is the go to move for the CIA . The first line spoken when this first came to light was probably Sabrina who ? She got caught and should take her lumps without opening her trap . Name , rank and serial number . After that you can lick the sweat off my nuts .
