WASHINGTON (AP) - Lawyers asked the Bush administration on Thursday why a German citizen, taken prisoner by the CIA in a case of mistaken identity in 2004, was not allowed into the United States last weekend.
Khaled al-Masri was seeking entry to publicize the lawsuit he filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Va., against former CIA Director George Tenet and 10 "John Doe" CIA employees involved in his abduction to Afghanistan.
In letters to the U.S. government, the American Civil Liberties Union also asked whether Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice apologized to the German government during her trip to Berlin this week.
