Flight logs reveal secret rendition

THE secret flight plans of American military planes have revealed for the first time how European countries helped send prisoners, including British citizens, to the Guantanamo Bay prison camp.

Despite widespread criticism of alleged human rights abuses and torture at the US base in Cuba, a Sunday Times investigation has shown that at least five European countries gave the United States permission to fly nearly 700 terrorist suspects across their territory.

Three years ago, The Sunday Times published flight logs of CIA civilian jets in Europe, setting off a controversy over the whether countries across the continent have been secretly involved in America's rendition of terrorist suspects to countries that carry out torture.

The row is now set to be reignited. Inquiries by Ana Gomes, a Portuguese member of the European parliament, have uncovered not only more CIA flight logs but also more sensitive military flight plans, which until now have remained a closely guarded secret.

3. The article is excellent. It's beautiful seeing these countries called out for cooperating with this

vicious, underhanded, criminal administration. Not one goddamned minute too soon, either.

Hope we will hear a lot MORE about this, and that this new information will lead to some important distancing from the monster who stole the White House.

4. If you have time left - I would add the word NATO in the subject heading.

If true -

the highlights are:

a NATO nod.
a Turkey nod.

We knew about Spain, Portugal, Italy?

Spain and Italy were under the leadership of right leaning
friends of pnac when this set up, then .....

...and continued under the new leaders?

Portugal?

Flying that route takes more fuel.

Folks, can you begin to imagine the cost to taxpayers for torturing?

Folks, if we paid for this, are we not as vulnerable to legal proceedings as NATO, Spain, Italy? Perhaps we should be.

Is pnac with the military going to get away with this?

5. Just more freedom for terrorists to hate us for

I wonder if any U.S. news outlet will dare to publish this? Or are they too preoccupied with showing us those amazingly empty airports and shots of traffic moving along smoothly? I mean, for my money, I can't get enough of those traffic shots, but this seems like something that might be of some general interest.

6. Like anything else they do for the money. Don't we buy all our friends? nt

Good article.

7. It's time for a multinational tribunal.

The administration had to have given large sums of cash, and or grand promises, and or grave threats to those willing to allow this.

I don't know enough about history to know what the numbers of Germans were who were demanding justice for their "leader's" crimes.

He is incredibly dedicated and very courageous. There is more here though, much more and I wonder if it will ever be written.
