Scots CIA Flights Dossier Released
The Scottish National Party (opposition) denounced that the US Central Intelligence Agency used local airports to transport detained alleged terrorists.
The SNP released the dossier Wednesday with data collected from air companies used by the CIA to transport the suspects to secret prisons in Europe and other locations.
The document confirms rendition flights in Glasgow and Prestwick to Guantanamo, east Cuban territory occupied by the US, from 2002 to 2004 involving Gulfstream airlines.
More than 500 prisoners have been held in inhumane conditions at Guantanamo since late 2001.
British The News daily quoted an official source claiming the executive did not know Scotland was a route of the Rendition Operation the CIA used to load secret prisons with terror suspects, many of whom are believed to have been tortured.
SNP said they will supply this data to the British and European Parliament. The latter is investigating to determine whether the CIA had airports and illegal prisons on the continent.
The European Commission also opened an investigation. EP legislator, Swiss Dick Marty, said that the European governments were fully aware, but pretended to know nothing.
Marty called some European officials hypocrites because they knew of the developments and remained silent or looked the other way.
A report from the European Commission issued last week indicates that the CIA abducted over 150 "terrorists" and took them to secret prisons in Eastern Europe.
