" ... Unlike terrorism suspects who were secretly snatched by the CIA and harshly interrogated and imprisoned overseas during the George W. Bush administration, Raymond Azar was flown to this Washington suburb for a case involving inflated invoices.

Azar, 45, pleaded guilty Tuesday to conspiracy to commit bribery, the only charge against him. ....

But Joanne Mariner, terrorism and counter-terrorism director at Human Rights Watch, called the case "bizarre."

Justice Department lawyers have denied any misconduct in the case.

Azar and Cobos worked for a Lebanese construction company, Sima Salazar Group, which was awarded more than $50 million in Pentagon contracts for reconstruction and supply work in Afghanistan.

In exchange, he agreed to approve $13 million in outstanding bills from Sima Salazar. ....... Sima Salazar Group is also under indictment..."
