From your wiki link: Fucking sick.In January 2004, Bikowsky, as head of the Bin Laden Issue Station, made the decision to extraordinarily render Khalid El-Masri to Afghanistan for five months without any evidence in hand.[5][6](pp282–3)[12] El-Masri's name was a different transliteration of Khalid al-Masri, the name of a person who had supposedly met Ramzi bin al-Shibh and Marwan al-Shehhi on a train in Germany.[5][17] Even after El-Masri's passport was checked and his identity as a different person was confirmed in March, Bikowsky still wanted him held in detention in Afghanistan.[6](pp284–5) El-Masri was eventually released in late May.[5] The CIA Inspector General determined that there was no legal justification for rendering El-Masri.[12] Bikowsky received no reprimand for the incident, because then-CIA Director Michael Hayden didn't want to deter the initiative of counter-terrorism employees.[12]
