'Ghost' jet used to ferry suspects to torture sites
Topics: Middle East News and PerspectivesI like this, I just hope it's true. We can't fight the war on terror with our hands tied behind our backs. This sounds like the right way to deal with the Islamists who would kill and maim innocents. We need to know their next moves and just asking them isn't going to do it. Our lives are at stake as is the continuence of civilized society. So off with the gloves and fly them away. Of course the Washington Post would jump on something like this, anything to make the U.S. look bad but saying nothing about the murdering terrorists - radical Islamists that care nothing about our rights that are being questioned in 'other' countries. One can't help but notice the absence of outcry by the MSM over beheadings and mutilations by the terrorists, while at the same time crying 'foul' when our intelligence agencies act covertly to protect us.
WASHINGTON: A US jet registered to a ghost company whisks terror suspects to countries that use torture, according to the Washington Post.
The Gulfstream V turbojet had been seen at US military bases around the
world, often loading hooded and shackled suspects and delivering them
to countries known to use torture, a process the CIA calls "rendition",
the newspaper said.
The jet, with the tail number N379P, had been seen in Afghanistan,
Indonesia, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Morocco, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia
and Uzbekistan.
The executives of the plane's corporate owner, Premier
Executive Transport Services, were all listed with dates of birth in
the 1940s, 50s and 60s, but with social security numbers issued since
1998, the Post said. It was unable to locate any further business or
credit information on them or the company.
The CIA refused to comment, but such "proprietary" or front
corporations were standard procedure for the agency, former operatives
told the newspaper. theAustralian.news.com..
