Torture and Rendition involved?

News Flash : Bush Stops an Assination Attempt. (Smoke & Mirrors ensue)

A link from Political Wire this morning led to a Washington Times article (which I will not link to here for personal reasons) that states that this person was involved with an attempt to kill President Bush. It states also that he will be going to court tomorrow (rather quickly I may add). A friend sums it up better than I can :

Anna at Political Hardball This "plot" is almost 2 years old. The Saudis have been torturing him since he was arrested in 2003. They brought him back here so suddenly because his family had filed a lawsuit asking the government to explain why they were holding him and the court had ruled there was circumstantial evidence to show the government had knowingly and deliberately rendered him to the Saudis to be tortured. Since they had nothing to refute this with in a brief, they brought him back instead and charged him with the "plot to assassinate Bush" - he hadn't been charged with ANYTHING before that. If you needed to have an acceptable reason for torturing somebody in a Saudi prison for 2 years, what would be most likely to get people's attention and sympathy - just another "bomb plot" or a "plot to assassinate the president"? Of course, it was also convenient that it could be used as a major distraction from Jeff Gannon - they always seem to be able to come up with something just when it's needed the most!
