On the ACLU's blog, they have a PDF of a CIA redacted document about the use of torture. The page is entirely blacked out except for the phrase, "These enhanced techniques include:" and then farther down the page, "waterboard." Link

This Florida based Gulfstream II jet aircraft # N987SA  crash landed on September 24, 2007 after it ran out of fuel over Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula it had a cargo of several tons of Cocaine on board now documents have turned up on both sides of the Atlantic that link this Cocaine Smuggling Gulfstream II jet aircraft # N987SA that crashed in Mexico to the CIA who used it on at least 3 rendition flights from Europe and the USA to Guantanamo's infamous torture chambers between 2003 to 2005.

The Gulfstream Jet was initially reported by the Mexican Press as carrying a huge cargo of more than 6 Tons of Cocaine as well as one ton of pure Heroin but a later press release courtesy of the Mexican Military had it dwindled down to only 4 tons of Cocaine with no Heroin whatsoever.

By early October the Mexican press announced a 3rd reduction leaving only 3.7 Tons of cocaine followed a few days with 3.6 then later by a 5th and final report from the Mexican Authorities that gave the amount as just 3.3 tons of Cocaine. Draw your own conlusions about the missing 3 ton's of cocaine and the ton of heroin that was first reported. Everybody is out to make money on the drug war even the so called good guys if there is such a thing.

Germany's Justice Ministry is sounding out U.S. authorities over whether they would be willing to cooperate with legal proceedings against suspected CIA agents sought in the alleged kidnapping of a German citizen, an official said Thursday.

The ministry sent a formal legal request over the warrants issued by German prosecutors earlier this year, a ministry spokeswoman said on customary condition of anonymity. Such requests are a common first step in dealing with international arrest warrants, she said.

Munich prosecutors issued warrants for the arrest of 13 suspected CIA agents at the end of January, accusing the unidentified suspects of wrongfully imprisoning Khaled al-Masri and causing him serious bodily harm.

The Justice Ministry received the warrants in March and sent its initial request to Washington about two weeks ago, the spokeswoman said.

Al-Masri, a German citizen of Lebanese descent, maintains that he was abducted in December 2003 at the Serbian-Macedonian border and flown by the CIA to a detention center in Kabul, Afghanistan, where he was abused.

He says he was released in Albania in May 2004, and that his captors told him he was seized in a case of mistaken identity.

Human rights campaigners have focused on al-Masri's story in pressing the United States to stop flying terrorism suspects to countries other than the U.S. where they could face abuse — a practice known as "extraordinary rendition." In a separate case, Italy also has issued arrest warrants for alleged CIA agents.
