Abstract:

In this article the author is discussing a North Carolina based charter flight company, Aero, being involved with CIA and the transport of suspected terrorists. Aero is a charter flight company based in Smithfield, NC that uses the local public airport to take off at. In the article Abou Elkassim Britel talks about his experiences with being detained and tortured because the CIA suspected him to be a terrorist. Critics called Aero flights “torture taxis” and demand that the NC government would investigate this situation but the government responded by ignoring the requests. Aero uses public airports which mean that these flights are paid and funded by tax payer money. This cause the creation of NCIT, North Carolina-based Commission of Inquiry on Torture.
