BOOK ON CIA's SECRET JAILS: "Operation Hotel California" by Guido Olimpio

The first book-length expose of CIA kidnappings and prisons -- two of the greatest evils in the Bush government, and the world -- by the Italian investigative journalist Guido Olimpio is here, and it's new and as current as todays news stories about secret jails the CIA runs! The book is a must-read for anyone wanting to know about the CIA's practice of "rendition": kidnapping people and transporting them to places like Egypt for torture. It's an extremely controversial practice, a threat to America's security and character, and a sweat-provoking threat to potential victims and an insult to the sovereignty of countries like Italy and Sweden. Read the book, and your reactions will range from cold sweat to boiling mad.

Guido Olimpio is no leftist conspiratorialist. He is a serious journalist at one of Italy's largest newspapers. An expert on the subject of the times, terrorism, Olimpio comes highly recommended. Michael Ledeen, no less, one of the most radical of neoconservatives, recently refered to the author as "a very smart Italian journalist named Guido Olimpio." Neither left nor right, Olimpio is dead on target with this explosive expose.

========================

"Operation Hotel California" is the definitive work on the unspeakable CIA practice of rendition, by an authority with over 20 years' experience investigating terrorism solely to alert its potential victims.

The only problem is, the book is in Italian. If like most Americans you are unilingual, or if your second language is not Italian, that leaves you out.
