Synopsis: |
This book shows how the Doves brought down the Hawks to start a new Cold War. A new Cold War has broken out. This time it is between Europe and the USA. The kidnapping of European citizens, among other nationalities, has put the USA in the dock, leaving the perpetrators, shadowy CIA operatives, unsure of their position in Europe; all this 62 years after America helped liberate the continent, opening the way for democratic government! Mandated by their government to lift 'terror' suspects and fly them to secret destinations known as 'black sites', the CIA kidnappers now find themselves on the run, fugitives from justice in European states that were once allies.In "Birds of Prey" CD Stelzer and Robert Allen seek to explain how this new Cold War started, and answer these questions: Why did the CIA believe it could kidnap people in European cities? Did the CIA have reason to believe it would not be exposed to public scrutiny? How significant was the role of the peace movement, and anti-war protests? Why did the governments of several European nations, who knew about the kidnappings, turn a blind eye and allow their airports to be used by the CIA?Why are the courts in Germany and Italy intent on letting the legal process run its course? Meanwhile, as the courts prepare their judgement, the future of the CIA in Europe hangs in the balance. |
