1,245 Secret CIA Flights Revealed by European Parliament
November 28, 2006 4:56 PM

Brian Ross and Maddy Sauer Report:

The CIA flew 1,245 secret flights into European airspace, according to a European Parliament draft report obtained by ABC News.

The report is the result of a year-long investigation into secret CIA "extraordinary rendition" flights and prisons in Europe.

No European country has officially acknowledged being part of the program.

But citing records from an informal meeting of European and NATO foreign ministers last December that included Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, the Parliament's draft report concludes "member states had knowledge of the programme of extraordinary rendition and secret prisons."

1. Can they please turn in their resignations

as soon as possible.

Or better yet, let's wait until Jan after the Dems take control of Congress. I'd hate to end up with a President Hastert.

2. They should face the wall and place their hands behind their heads

[originalpckelly]

3. More than a thousand? How many fucking people are they shipping around?

:wtf:

Something is not right with that number, we've been told that only a couple people have been shipped out of the country. How many different flights could there be for a single person?

5. My concern's a bit different, but similar.

There have been a handful of people claiming to have been subject to extraordinary rendition (ER). Only a couple have any dates associated with them. For the most part, the thing about ER flights is that they're secret.

We know that the CIA flies people around, it's even been said that in the months before 3/03 Plame's unit was flying people around to check out every possible lead on WMD in Iraq and the ME. We can assume that other units in the CIA do the same kind of flying people around. Now, the thing about having secret agents flying around is that they and their flights are, well, secret.

Let's assume those are the only two reasons for private charter flights by the CIA, and other intelligence agencies don't fly people around. How do you tell the difference between the two, if the CIA and other countries aren't cooperating?

You don't.

6. Sweet Jesus......1,245 flights?

Let me guess. All "detainees" are safe now at Gitmo under the watchful eye of several human rights groups.

9. There are Secret Prisons that only a few know about.

The Red Cross and Amnesty Intl. is still working on discovering them. One not so secret, yet no Red Cross access is Deigo Garcia, a Naval Base, on a British island.

10. These are all war crimes, violations of Geneva, and impeachable offenses.

Failure to impeach, remove, prosecute and punish, then "render" to the Hague for any pending charges make one complicit as a war criminal themselves -- aiding and abetting after the fact.

With majority power comes responsiblity -- and culpability. The LieberDems have to decide if they're with the torturers or against them. Before their 100-hour wish-list fulfillment party.

There is no middle ground.

Impeachment IS our postive agenda.

It is our ONLY moral, patriotic option.
