This week, Daljit Dhaliwal speaks with Carla Robbins, deputy editorial page editor of The New York Times, and James Rubin, adjunct professor at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs.
They discuss Hamid Karzai’s second term, international calls to clean up corruption and the worsening security situation.
They also look at the fallout from a landmark case in Italy involving the alleged CIA abduction and so-called rendition of a Muslim cleric. An Italian judge convicted and sentenced 23 CIA agents, in their absence, of abducting the cleric in Italy and taking him to Egypt where he says he was tortured.

I think I remember when the CIA and the Italians got the Mullah. Both countries were working together. I remember asking myself why the Italians didn’t just do it themselves, why did they bring in the CIA? I don’t know why Italy is all up in arms about this, it was their case and they used us to do it. This must be a policital backlash towards the US by some perceived slight towards Italy. This sounds like retaliation to me. And, ha ha, since when is Italy so clean??? And when does Italy play by the books???
