Stop Torture Taxis Protest

Anti-torture and antiwar activists in North Carolina, joined by Ann Wright and Sunny Miller, protested outside the gates of Aero Contractors LTD in Smithfield, NC on March 18, 2007. Aero Contractors has been reported to provide planes and pilots for the CIA's 'extraordinary rendition', in other words kidnapping, of people in other countries for interrogation and imprisonment, which has included torture. Several organizations participated in this action:

No, it really doesn't.

About 50 protesters returned to Aero gates yesterday and eight were arrested while attempting to deliver citizen arrest warrants to Aero employees. The effort continues to build up steam!

Aero Contractors (employed by the CIA to fly "extreme renditions" to black sites for "interogations") is based out of Smithfield, Johnston County Airport, North Carolina. NC Govenor Easley makes no effort to stop these illegal flights. Meanwhile the German government brings charges against 13 US citizens for their part in a rendition(kidnapping). Seems odd that other countries are more concerned with justice than the USA, doesn't it?
