The United States changed its policy on interrogations of detainees on Wednesday, putting a worldwide ban on U.S. personnel subjecting prisoners to cruelty, Rice said. (Gleb Garanich/Reuters)

Come on...there you go...you can do it...THAT'S my Secretary of State!



:evilgrin:

cruelty means they will have someone other than US personnel do it for them!!!

that the CIA is landing private planes at an Istanbul airport. The landings are not being "officially" recorded by the flight controllers, and people from the plane are going in to the Turkish prisons to question prisoners.
Quote from The Turkish Daily News, Friday, Dec. 2, 2005:
Page Nine, "From The Columns":
(Subtitle):"What did personnel on CIA plane do while in Istanbul?"
"Pointing to a series of mysterious and as of yet unexplained landings permitted in Turkey to foreign charter and government flights, Hurriyet's Yalcin Dogan complains that Turkish air traffic controllers should not be as compliant and lethargic as they have been recently. Focusing on the recent landing of a CIA owned plane that has been accused of being part of an international terrorist round-up and torture operation, Dogan says: 'It is normal to request permission to land and refuel at Istanbul's Sabiha Gokcen Airport. But what is abnormal is that the CIA plane spent the night at the Istanbul airport.'

"Dogan then says that prisoners held at the Izmit F-type prison claim that personnel from this CIA qauestioned them while the plane sat on the apron at Sabiha Gokcen 'The Justice Ministry is denying this,' notes Dogan. Dogan calls for stricter controls and paperwork on which planes are landing and then states: 'In past experience, these type of planes have been recorded as having landed. This is a way of protecting the country after all. It is unfortunate that Turkish air traffic controllers have left this unsupervised.' "(End of article)

I also want to point out that the primary airport for Istanbul is the international Ataturk Airport, so the CIA is landing at a lesser airport.

It would be quite simple for the CIA to ask the questions and watch while local personnel inflicted torture.
