Flight logs reveal secret rendition

THE secret flight plans of American military planes have revealed for the first time how European countries helped send prisoners, including British citizens, to the Guantanamo Bay prison camp.
Despite widespread criticism of alleged human rights abuses and torture at the US base in Cuba, a Sunday Times investigation has shown that at least five European countries gave the United States permission to fly nearly 700 terrorist suspects across their territory.
Three years ago, The Sunday Times published flight logs of CIA civilian jets in Europe, setting off a controversy over the whether countries across the continent have been secretly involved in America’s rendition of terrorist suspects to countries that carry out torture.

Billy,
I didn’t write the story I just posted it. so no I don’t think that the other countries didn’t know.
So you think I am dumb but you like the comics. OK thats one out of two, I’ll take that.
I’ve been working so much lately that I have barely had time to scan the news let alone doing the comics. Hopefully I will be able to get back to the occasional comic soon. Finally gave up on trying to make a living at this, (thanks to sites like Daily Kos, an Huffington Post)
I’m glad to see at least 1 person liked the comics. You don’t know how many times I spent hours working on one of those only to get no response whatsoever either good or bad.
OK back to work
