At least 1,245 undeclared flights operated by the CIA flew into European airspace or stopped over at European airfields after Sept. 11, 2001. While it has not been proven detainees were on board, the European Parliament says many of the planes were routinely used for transporting terror suspects from Afghanistan to Guantanamo, or to and from other secret detention centers.In the past, I've asked if detainee transport has not functioned, at least in part, as a sort of cover story. According to Wikipedia, some 558 detainees have been held at Gitmo. The highest figure I've seen was 759.
Of course, the flights have gone to other nations -- to torture centers in the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Perhaps someone better-versed in the ways of air travel than I can explain why a plane going from Afghanistan to Egypt or to Uzbekistan might need to traverse Italian or British air space.
And then, perhaps, someone can explain to me why the U.S. would transport only one or two prisoners per trip.
Do you feel certain that prisoners were the only cargo on those CIA flights...?
