CIA contractor accused in beating claims U.S. has no
jurisdiction
By WILLIAM L. HOLMES, Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH, N.C. -- A former Special Forces soldier charged with
beating an Afghan detainee who later died says federal courts
should not have jurisdiction in his case because he was working
outside the country at the time of his alleged crime.
Lawyers for David A. Passaro, 38, contend that provisions of the
U.S. Patriot Act approved after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11,
2001 should not apply in places where special operations forces and
CIA paramilitary operatives work.
The argument came in filing in U.S. District Court in Raleigh that
said charges against Passaro should be dismissed.
Assistant U.S. Attorney James Candelmo said the government disputes
the argument and wants the defense motion denied.
Passaro, a former Army Special Forces soldier from North Carolina
was hired as a contractor by the CIA in 2003.
