Abu Omar, who was kidnaped by the CIA in Italy and sent to Egypt for torture, says that former agent Sabrina De Sousa is one of the small fry and shouldn't be prosecuted.

Uber has changed the regulations that cover charging passengers for making cars wait.
This decision itself may not be objectionable. Taxis typically charge for making them wait. But that regulation is set by a city agency which is at least somewhat responsible to the people. Uber is a business headquartered somewhere else, which accepts no responsibility to the people of any city.
