De Vluchten van de CIA die op Brits Eiland zijn geland

De CIA en Groot-Brittannië laten de V.S. toe. Vluchten van de vertolking gebruikten Brits Grondgebied in 2002

Omkerend een vroegere eis, heeft de CIA erkend dat de twee V.S. vertolkings vluchten die twee beweerde terroristen vervoeren die op de V.S. worden bijgetankt. basis op Brits grondgebied in 2002. De CIA Directeur Michael Hayden vertelde agentschapwerknemers in een bericht op Donderdag dat de informatie aan Groot-Brittannië bepaalde eerder dat geen dergelijke vluchten Brits luchtruim of grond gebruikten aangezien de 9/11 aanvallen verkeerd bleken.Britain has confirmed the acknowledgement, as British Foreign Secretary David Miliband made a similar statement in the parliament on Thursday.

“Contrary to earlier explicit assurances that Diego Garcia had not been used for rendition flights, recent U.S. investigations have now revealed that this had in fact occurred on two occasions, both in 2002,” Miliband told the House of Lords.

“In both cases a U.S. plane with a single detainee on board refueled at the U.S. facility in Diego Garcia,” he added.

Hayden said a review of the rendition records late last year found that the refueling, conducted more than five years ago, lasted just a short time.

“We found this mistake ourselves, and that we brought it to the attention of the British government. An important part of intelligence work, inherently urgent, complex, and uncertain, is to take responsibility for errors and to learn from them,” the AP quoted Hayden as saying.

One of the prisoners was ultimately jailed at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base and the other was released to his home country, Hayden revealed in the message. He insisted that neither of them was tortured and denied there has ever been a holding facility for CIA prisoners on Diego Garcia, a British island territory in the Indian Ocean.
