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.
