Another ugly wrinkle in the CIA-Blackwater relationship

Germany's Der Spiegel says Blackwater was used by the CIA to take detainees out of Guantanamo and into the black hole of secret prisons and detention.
Even today, members of Congress do not have a complete image of the activities Blackwater undertook on behalf of the government.

The intelligence service commissioned Blackwater and its subsidiaries to transport terror suspects from Guantanamo to interrogations at secret prison camps in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Uzbekistan. The paper identifies aircraft movements and unveils how the flights were disguised. The memo says: "The CIA hired Blackwater to conduct extraordinary renditions". And: "Blackwater flew the rendition targets from Fort Perry and Cuba to Kandahar, Afghanistan."


Think we'll find dead bodies at the end of these trails?
