If a CIA "station chief" hasn't learned how to keep incriminating evidence off a laptop, the guy deserves to hang, or at the very least to get tortured (sorry, "subjected to enhanced interrogation"). Not for what he is alleged to have done, but for sheer bloody incompetence as a so-called "spy".

I would like to see him tried in those countries . Only because their jails are much harsher .

...as he would be if the US had signed up for the ICC. Instead they've joined China and Russia in pleading "Special And Different".

Good for the CIA, still recruiting reprobates and fools after all these decades.

Absolutely, this ass should be repatriated to Egypt for trial there, then after sentencing, to Algeria for trial there. He is a convert to Islam, according to ABC, so trying him under anything but Sharia makes no sense.

We in the US are told again and again that their secret victories are most excellent, and we just need not to notice all the torturing, disappearing, drug-dealing, raping and assassinating they're up to.

A simple bullet munching would have been the old way.

copy & paste for the win.

Aside from supporting rightwing American politicians in their delusions, torturing people and participating in the drug market?

The IT angle presumably being that this proves they are not nerds. Wow. And so Reg slithers into the pachyderm trap that has already gobbled up Big Media, of making hyperreal "news" out of tropes and stereotypes. The real story is much deeper - the "sex" scandal is just a time-honoured way of putting the knife into someone. Evidently something's happening down in Algeria. And it's not called Roger.
