A CIA Mistake: Are there others

This is one of the most chilling articles I have ever read. If this is what the government is doing in my name, I say "not in my name". This is not how to protect the country. From the article:
"Members of the Rendition Group follow a simple but standard procedure: Dressed head to toe in black, including masks, they blindfold and cut the clothes off their new captives, then administer an enema and sleeping drugs. They outfit detainees in a diaper and jumpsuit for what can be a day-long trip. Their destinations: either a detention facility operated by cooperative countries in the Middle East and Central Asia, including Afghanistan, or one of the CIA's own covert prisons -- referred to in classified documents as "black sites," which at various times have been operated in eight countries, including several in Eastern Europe."

In the end, after getting the wrong guy, the CIA and White House argued over whether to issue an apology. Are you kidding me? How could they not issue an apology. They screwed up and took 5 months of this guy's life (and probably caused psychological damage as well) and they don't want to apologize. This Administration is just plain mean and insensitive.
