Connecting one dot

One thing missing from the Mail on Sunday report noting that a plane tied to Blackwater (a "contractor"/mercenary firm working for the US government) and the CIA stopped in the UK last week is that there was a recent prisoner transfer to Guantanamo --

The Department of Defense described the man, Abdullahi Sudi Arale, as "a dangerous terror suspect," in a statement released here, announcing that he had been seized in East Africa and transferred to the US prison.

It said he was one of the leaders of the Somali Council of Islamic Courts, a powerful political movement fiercely opposed to the official government in Somalia, which has been destabilized by violence in recent months.


The evidence is there for anyone to see that extraordinary rendition via British and Irish airports is still going on. It's just that the governments of the respective jurisdictions choose not to see it.
