Italian judge convicts 23 Americans in CIA kidnapping of terror suspect

MILAN (AP) — An Italian judge found 23 Americans and two Italians guilty Wednesday in the kidnapping of an Egyptian terror suspect, delivering the first legal convictions anywhere in the world against people involved in the CIA's extraordinary renditions program.
Human rights groups hailed the decision and pressed President Obama to repudiate the Bush administration's practice of abducting terror suspects and transferring them to third countries where torture was permitted.
