US Upset with German Search for CIA Agents

American officials are displeased with Germany for getting Interpol involved in the hunt for CIA agents wanted in connection with the rendition of German citizen Khaled el-Masri (Reuters picture). El-Masri claims he was taken from Macedonia in 2003 and tortured in Afghanistan for five months before being dumped in Albania (original post here). The United States refuses to cooperate citing national security concerns. El-Masri's attempts to bring suit in the US have been dismissed because of the state secrets privilege.
