Zustand: Poor. 8vo. Softcover. 339pp. Index. Illustrated with diagrams. In December 2005 Condoleezza Rice, the US Secretary of State, assured the world that the flights of CIA private jets that have criss-crossed Europe since 9/11 have no role in sending prisoners to be tortured. ââ ËThe United States has not transported anyone, and will not transport anyone, to a country when we believe he will be tortured,ââ ⢠she said. Tony Blair assured Parliament: ââ ËI have absolutely no evidence to suggest that anything illegal has been happening here at all.ââ ⢠But, as Stephen Grey reveals in Ghost Plane, Riceââ â¢s claims were false ââ â and Britainââ â¢s government has also turned a blind eye to a CIA operation that systematically outsources the harsh interrogation of its captives. Grey reveals how the Agencyââ â¢s programme, known by the euphemism ââ Ëextraordinary renditionââ â¢, has transported hundreds of prisoners to foreign jails and its own secret facilities in the full knowledge they will face harsh torture. From the dark cells of Syriaââ â¢s ââ ËPalestine Branchââ ⢠interrogation centre in Damascus ââ â where inmates are detained for months on end in cells the size of coffins ââ â to secret CIA jails in Afghanistan that bombard prisoners with rock music 24 hours a day, Grey uses the prisonersââ ⢠accounts and CIA jet flight logs to weave a vivid tale of life inside this hidden ââ Ëextra-legalââ ⢠netherworld that is Americaââ â¢s international prison network. Including interviews with pilots that flew the CIAââ â¢s jets, Ghost Plane reveals the extraordinary detective work that tracked down the Agencyââ â¢s covert aviation network. Tracing the history of rendition back to the mid-1990s, Stephen Grey shows how, after 9/11, it expanded beyond recognition into what amounted to a systematic torture programme ââ â a terrifying world of endless interrogations, frequent transfers round the world, and detention without charge.…
