No proof

CNN article.

If they had no evidence to prosecute him, then they were taking the law into their own hands based on hunches. I don't know if you remember Denzel Washington in Training Day. Can you imagine the amount of terror a CIA agent can cause on the general population if he violated U.S. citizens rights based on hunches without absolutely no proof at all. In fact, he could hurt someone for personal reasons of profitability or prejudice and then claim he had a hunch about him, since he didn't need to prove anything. The system is already very corrupt and they already have a lot of power. The movie Training Day was an example of our current system even with laws in place to protect citizens. Can you imagine what the CIA can do without any laws or accountability for their actions? Most people would live in fear hoping they don't piss a CIA agent off or have any money or valuables that they want. Anyone with a daughter should think twice about that law.
