CIA Prison Flights Led by DDO JOSE RODRIGUEZ from Latin America Division

We describe CIA treatment of prisoners so you can judge for yourself. Each escalation of maltreament reportedly comes ONLY after an inquiry to, and approval from, JOSE RODRIGUEZ, the CIA's Deputy Director of Operations (DDO) at the McLean, VA, headquarters. We describe how the torture works and how agents work it with Mr. Rodriguez (and allegedly with his predecessors, Stephen Kappes and James Pavitt).
Rest of the text:

The CIA shuttles the prisoners around the world on civilian aircraft, almost all of which the CIA owns. The CIA owns the aircraft through holding companies that have one employee -- a contracted private attorney in the US. A Smithfield, NC, firm, Aero Contractors, operates most of the planes. We show how the CIA aviation office works with private attorneys. The lawyers have no need to know what the planes are used for, and undoubtedly the CIA does not tell them about prisoner transports.

The front companies are set up by lawyers (see below). They are holding companies for aircraft and they provide a mail drop for business related to the aircraft, such as registering with the FAA and the state secretary-of-state. Several real companies -- contractors, some set up by the CIA -- have actual operations, including employees and premises such as aircraft hangars.

The CIA minimizes contact with outsiders and works through buffers. The front-company lawyers are buffers between civilians and the CIA. The Naval Engineering Logistics office is the go-between for military personnel interfacing with the CIA's aviation office on administrative matters. For sensitive top-secret mission communication, the channel is direct between the CIA and military personnel with top-secret clearance and a need to know. The CIA employs military personnel in renditions (kidnappings), and communication about this would be direct. The contractors like Aero Contractors occupy a position of trust with the CIA, and communication with them is more or less direct.

SOME DARE CALL IT ... TORTURE

These treatments are administered directly by CIA officers. To optain harsher treatments, the CIA "renditions" (snatches and transports) the victims to Jordan, Syria (our supposed arch enemy), and Egypt. The CIA's own methods have been approved by one or more American "physicians" (reminiscent of the Nazi Dr. Mengele), which supposedly has limited deaths from torture to two or three.

Here's how it works: ......................
