If I recall, doesn't Jepps have the contract for providing updated charts for ALL Governement flights, as REQUIRED by legislation after Ron Brown's Death?
Wasn't the excuse for that bad charts?
The same article on CNN: ACLU sues Boeing unit for CIA torture flights Suit, made on behalf of 3 alleged torture victims, claims Jeppesen Dataplan gave flight, logistical support for 'rendition' flights.
Another trip up box canyon for the ACLU.
Makes as much sense as suing Rand-McNally if one of their road atlases is found in the car of a bank robber.
"I Support Torture for Terrorists"
For a bumper sticker.
Lets assume
1. A company knowingly does business with the CIA
2. The CIA does something that a private company could be sued for.
It does not follow that the CIA told the company what they were doing.
It also does not follow that civilian contractors do not have some shield.
It’s about time to fight back and sue the ACLU under RICO. I think taxpayer-citizens should have standing.
Reminds me of Southern Air Transport sitting on the Howard AB runway back in the late 80s - ah, those were the good old days, when the response to, “what’s that plane out there?” was, “What plane?”
Colonel, USAFR
Can we run the ACLU out of town yet? Make them walk the plank? Hang them at dawn? Honestly, with people like this inside our country, who needs enemies?
The government, through NOAA, publishes approaches, departures, VFR sectionals, enroute charts, etc, developed by the FAA. That’s my job, developing those procedures. Jeppeson takes the same information and distributes them to their customers. They also collect and distribute flight data for foreign countries.
So what’s next?
Sue GM for making the HUMMVEE’s that transported the terrorists to the camp?
Sue the plant that makes the MRE’s?
Where does the blatant assault on this country by a dedicated Socialist/Marxist outfit end?
Ah yes, the ACLU. An organization whose slogan should be:
“Because terrorists’ rights are more important than your life.”
....a senior Jeppesen official stated, “We do all of the extraordinary rendition flights - you know, the torture flights. Let’s face it, some of these flights end up that way.” (Jane Mayer, The New Yorker, Oct. 30, 2006.)
This statement is an assumption and nothing more. A “Senior Jeppesen Official” has the inside scope on military operations? This “official” is a fabrication.
Watching America eat itself is exactly what the Radicals want and they appreciate the contributions from Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Michael Moore, Rosie ODonnell, etc,.
