By Fulvio Bernasconi
After September 11, the CIA signed a secret agreement with several European States that allowed the kidnapping and torture of suspected Islamists. When the Washington Post reveals the case in 2005, the Council of Europe mandates Swiss citizen, Dick Marty to lead the investigation.
