Scottish inquiry into 'rendition' flights by CIA

Fresh allegations that British airports were secretly used
by the CIA to "render" Islamist terror suspects to be
tortured in secret prisons or held in Guantánamo Bay are
to be investigated by Scottish prosecutors.

Kenny MacAskill, the Scottish justice minister, is to give
the lord advocate a new report alleging that airports in
Scotland were used 107 times for refuelling by secret CIA
flights, which later carried at least six suspects, including
the senior al-Qaida leader Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.

The report, by the legal rights group Reprieve, also claims
a Polish aviation authority and a CIA front company in
Crawley, Surrey, misled airport officials in Scotland about
the flight used to transport Mohammed, who was seized
by the CIA in Pakistan in 2003. Officials were told the
flight had come from Prague, but Reprieve claims it came
from an airport "servicing" a secret prison in Poland.

1. I very much look to the Free World for moral leadership.

I only hope that more of the very few Free Nations also get involved in investigating Amerikan War Crimes, for as with Nazi Germany, WE WILL NOT.

(at best, we'll get a Lynndie England Show Trial to placate the rabble - that's us)

Thank you Scotland. Tell the other Free Nations to do so as well, for you are our only hope, most likely.
