On 2 March, a Court of Appeals dismissed a lawsuit by Khaled El-Masri, a German citizen, against former CIA Director George Tenet. El-Masri claims to have been abducted by the CIA in Macedonia and transferred to a secret prison in Afghanistan, where he was allegedly tortured. The Court upheld the lower court decision that the case could not be continued because it related to state secrets.
