“Former CIA Milan station chief Robert Seldon Lady is to ask Italy’s president to pardon him for kidnapping an Egyptian Muslim cleric under the U.S. ‘extraordinary rendition’ program, his lawyer was quoted as saying on Monday. Lady was among 23 Americans sentenced at an Italian trial in 2009, the first time U.S. nationals had been convicted over the program, operated by the administration of former U.S. President George W. Bush during the so-called war on terror. Lady – 59, and now retired – escaped extradition in July from Panama, where he was detained after crossing the border from Costa Rica. He was released and returned to the United States.”
