ALLAN HALL

<snip> When it wants to grab a suspected terrorist and deliver him to overseas interrogators the engines of an Aero plane at its base in sleepy Smithfield, North Carolina, begin to turn. <snip>

"Aircraft rental with pilot," is its listing in the Dun & Bradstreet directory, the Yellow Pages for the aviation world. But in reality it is the carrier for the CIA on their missions both domestic and international.

It was founded in 1979 by a former CIA officer who was also a pilot for Air America. It hides behind a cover of shell companies and corporations that exist only on paper. <snip>

Both Italy and Sweden have launched probes into Aero Contractors claiming citizen suspects were seized and then flown on. <snip>
