CIA's Polish Joke

Not funny.

"Data given on alleged CIA flights to Poland" by Associated Press | February 23, 2010

WARSAW - A government-run agency has for the first time provided official records confirming the landing in Poland of planes associated with the CIA’s secret detainee program, two human rights groups said yesterday.

The data adds support to findings from a 2007 Council of Europe report that accused 14 European governments of permitting the CIA to run detention centers or carry out secret flights between 2002 and 2005, the Open Society Justice Initiative and the Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights said.

Will this be another one-day wonder in my AmeriKan newspaper?

Though flight logs did not reveal that prisoners were on the plane, it confirmed that the flights landed in Poland, which the country has previously denied, said Adam Bodnar of the Helsinki Foundation.

Yeah, and if you don't get official confirmation from government agencies it's all "conspiracy theories," huh?

If we are going to wait for GOVERNMENTS and NEWSPAPERS to tell us the truth we will be waiting for ETERNITY!

A 2005 Human Rights Watch report, based on leaked logs of CIA-linked plane flights to Poland, claimed the US spy agency housed a secret prison in Poland where it allegedly held and brutally questioned Al Qaeda prisoners.

The groups said yesterday that flight logs provided by the Polish Air Navigation Services Agency under a Freedom of Information Act revealed details about at least six landings from February-September 2003 of a Gulfstream and Boeing jet linked to the CIA at the former military airport of Szczytno-Szymany in northern Poland....
