Saw this coming, but found it interesting to note though somebody missed an edit on the final copy. About 2/3 of the way down it says "The Americans, almost all of whom are believed to working for the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, and are being tried in absentia."

I hope the trials continue so a legal precedent can be established.
It's time we lift the veil of secrecy and get a little accountability.

Unfortunately the judge will probably end up the victim of a 'mysterious death' if the trials ever happen, criminals will resort to anything to keep from getting caught.
