US Torture Flights

Belfast International Airport

Socialist Youth held a protest outside Aldergrove International Airport on Saturday 17th June.

C.I.A. planes have been using both Aldergrove International Airport and City of Derry Airport as stopover destinations when deporting suspected terrorists.

These flights go to places like Azerbaijan and Guantánamo Bay were they are tortured. Many of these prisoners reach such desperation they are willing to take their own lives as happened in Guantánamo Bay just last week.

The escalating situation in Iraq has pushed America into more and more desperate methods to justify their ‘War on Terror’. Now they are dismissing suicide as an act of war or a PR attempt.

here's why...

go read this: http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/008794.php

in March 2002 the CIA captured a supposed Al Q man who turned out to be a lower level Al Q man and was quite mentally disturbed, even the FBI said so.

Bush ordered his torture until he 'confessed' to knowledge he didn't actually have.

Quote: 'Under that duress, he began to speak of plots of every variety -- against shopping malls, banks, supermarkets, water systems, nuclear plants, apartment buildings, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty. With each new tale, "thousands of uniformed men and women raced in a panic to each . . . target." And so, Suskind writes, "the United States would torture a mentally disturbed man and then leap, screaming, at every word he uttered."'

Bush is the sick man - why any politician would stand next to him is beyond me - why Bush is not arrested and sent to the Hague is the question of our era.
