Mystery Flights
Olenka Frenkiel reports on the plane spotters, civilians, judges, lawyers and journalists piecing together the jigsaw of an alleged programme of extraordinary rendition by the CIA.
Nine CIA flights land secretly in Poland. Was Europe the site of a secret prison where top Al Qaeda suspects were held? "It is unlikely," says lawyer Clive Stafford Smith, "that the British, European and American governments will tell us the truth. So we will sue them into the next generation." Olenka Frenkiel reports on the plane spotters, civilians, judges, lawyers and journalists piecing together the jigsaw of "extraordinary rendition", the CIA鈥檚 secret programme of kidnapping citizens, out-sourcing their torture, and sending them for trial in what even the US military lawyers call "kangaroo courts" where the outcome is rigged.
And even the former head of the CIA in Europe believes the truth will soon be revealed. "These things have a way of coming out," says Tyler Drumheller. "And then I won't look like the gangster I seem today."
