Fresh Amnesty Report Confirms Illegal CIA Practices

From EU Observer comes news of an Amnesty International report;

"In the report "USA - Below the radar: Secret flights to torture and 'disappearance'" published on Wednesday (5 April), Amnesty claims to have registered over a thousand flights that can be linked to the US intelligence organisation, the CIA."
...
"Using these privately contracted planes, the CIA has exploited a legal loophole that allows private aircraft to land at foreign airports without having to inform local authorities – unlike government or military planes -, the human rights watchdog states.

Amnesty also claims to have records of another 600 flights made by planes used temporarily by the CIA. "
Full report is here
