I am not sure if the Government has already issued the warrant. But there is another case running in Italy as well.
You know, the CIA was very motivated and active in Europe. The European governments are not very keen on these trials though, as it could get very nasty for them as well, but what shall I say... long lives the independent justice.
Of course the US would more likely nuke us before those CIA agents would be ever arrested in Europe, but the important point is that there are real trials gaining momentum in Germany and Italy. I see a realistic chance that the agents get convicted in absence as at least in the Italian case there are pretty nice evidences available.
If nothing else, it will at least take away the possibility of the US to simply deny it, without totally loosing any creditibility. Their denial stands than against a courts judgement of a western nation. I would not wonder if that would have even a backlash as far as to America. At least as long on that continent still some people live who have not abandoned the principles of civil liberties and the rule of law.
