U.S. using “torture flights”
The London Times has received confidential logs showing that the United States may be using an executive jet to shuttle suspected terrorists to countries which will use torture to interrogate them. The U.S. denies these charges of “torture by proxy”.
Witnesses described seeing the prisoners handed to US agents whose faces were masked by hoods. The clothes of the handcuffed prisoners were cut off and they were dressed in nappies covered by orange overalls before being forcibly given sedatives by suppository.
The Gulfstream flew them to Egypt, where both prisoners claimed they were beaten and tortured with electric shocks to their genitals. Despite liberal Swedish laws on freedom of information, diplomatic telegrams on the case released to the media were edited to conceal the complaints of torture.
