MIAMI (AP) - The CIA wants an agent to testify in disguise and use a fake name at an upcoming terror trial to protect his identity and secret agency locations in Afghanistan, according to court documents filed Thursday.
The agent's get-up would involve "a wig, eyeglasses or minor facial hair" but would not block others in the courtroom for the trial of Jose Padilla from assessing the agent's "demeanor and credibility," federal prosecutors said in their filing.
If U.S. District Judge Marcia Cooke grants the request, sketch artists would be barred from drawing pictures of the agent and he would enter and leave the courthouse through a private entrance.
