New info on 'rendition' flights?

Channel 4 to broadcast what it claims is new info on so-called 'rendition' flights through British airports. Don't know whether they've any info on Irish airports, but might be worth a look.

Excerpt from Channel 4's 'Snowmail' this evening, prior to 7pm bulletin. With apologies to Jon Snow for the cut-and-paste - might be worth a look for anyone interested:

"We have another twist in the complex tale of those so called CIA rendition flights. The ones suspected of moving terrorist suspects around the world for interrogation.

Until now the government has insisted they don't know who travelled on any of the suspect flights that passed through British airports. But we have now discovered all the planes must have fill in a "general aviation report", which requires them to provide full passenger details.

We are currently debating with the Department of Transport over whether this rule applies to the very flights everyone is curious about. Hopefully we'll have the answers by 8."
