Peter Bergen, the western reporter to have interviewed Osama bin Laden, reads my post about Obama’s rendition hints and emails:
“„I think the situation Obama is describing is the Ramzi Yousef case. No extradition treaty with Pakistan, snatched in Islambad [and taken] back to the U.S. Or am I missing something?

Update: Apologies to John Miller and Robert Fisk, who’ve also interviewed bin Laden.
