This isn't the whole story.

Your bank only knows that you spent money at Nordstrom. It doesn't have an item level transaction history, so it cannot know that you bought shoes unless it has access to Nordstrom's transaction logs. Therefore, for this to really fly, the retailer has to share their t-logs with the bank. So the banks aggregate t-log data from a number of retailers, and then resell that information back to the retailers.

You're right - there is an extradition treaty between Italy & the US - but this wasn't extradition, it was kidnap pure & simple. 23 agents from the CIA office in Milan have been convicted in absentia.

See e.g. the BBC.

If this is true, its a shame that the Higgs Boson couldn't have found some way of rippling back through time to a slightly earlier point, and stopping the construction of the LHC in the first place, thereby saving us many billions of euros :( ant.

Out of interest, where else have you watched documentaries?

"Rules for Radicals" is by Saul Alinsky, not William Ayers.

I'm not sure the difference between good & services is at all obvious. Manufacturing software or t-shirts could both be done by US or foreign citizens. So does this hold for, e.g. Gap? Should all their produce by manufactured in the US? Should they not use foreign manufacturers?
