Hani Al-Sayegh: who was living in Canada but accused of involvement in Khobar Towers incident, renditioned to the US with a lot of media spin about how he would implicate Iran in the bombing but was then sent back to Saudia Arabia after all charges were dropped against him by the US Justice Dept for lack of evidence -- and he's probably executed in Saudi Arabia now, having never been even formally accused of a crime nor given a chance to defend himself in court
