Well Now, Ain’t That Interesting

Turns out that prior to crashing, it had been frequently used by the CIA to fly suspected terrorists to Guantanamo, and may have been used for rendition flights to black sites.

    Yeah, apparently the same plane was used for a Bush fundraiser.

    Obama should take this and run with it – aside from the grumblings he’ll get for his admitted youthful cocaine use, he can use this as an example of what is wrong with America.
