Furthermore, this is not even to that point. The article only claims that they PLANNED such a rendition. Government agencies have plans for thousands of scenarios! I can only imagine how people would feel if they knew the details of the likely hundreds of contingency plans in place to handle a wide variety of natural disasters and exchanges of nuclear weapons, among others. The real question is what was the likelihood that this plan would be executed, and who makes that call (Obama I'd assume?). The CIA probably had 3 flavors of extradition on Obama's desk as soon as they had any idea where he was - that's their job.
