#1 Time to paint that number on a couple more planes.

#2 I guess foreign aid to Pakistan, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Yemen pays dividends occasionally.

#3 Too bad its not "rendering" instead of "rendition".

#4 "...a Gulfstream V turbojet, the sort favored by CEOs.."
Time to paint that number on a couple more planes.

Just wondering what type of plane the Washington Post Company has?

Some Rantburgers post comments along the lines that the "mainstream media" supports the terrorists, wants the USA to lose, etc. I usually am annoyed by such comments, but I have to say that this article is good evidence for such comments. I would call this article treasonous.

I edited out much of the original article. The entire article is characterized by a treasonous attitude, in my opinion.

#6 I can't believe that I'm agreeing with Mike Sylwester: it's treasonous.

Mwahaha! I see our clone and replace program is going well.

But seriously Mike, its not realy treasonous if there is no desire to aid the other side. Most journos don't/aren't capable of thinking that far out. Treason requires a preference for something.

These guys are all universaly hypnotized by a mixture of bush derangement syndrome, and the desire to copy woodward & bernstein, who took down a sitting president. The bigger picture simply dosen't occur to them, and prolly won't even when the Jihadis are sawing at their throat.

But a term that might fit is Sedition. IIRC this covers attacks on your own W/O Knowingly aiding an enemy. Sort of like the old school anarchists. Any lawyers/scholars here want to comment?

#9 Maybe "seditious" is a better word. For some reason, I seem to be agreeing with whatever you write. It's kind of a strange feeling .....

#10 IM HOPING THESE PLANES HAVE THE EJECTION SEAT SIMILAR TO MILITARY JETS - SO WE CAN JETTISON SOME ISLAMONUTS INTO THE ATLANTIC OCEAN AFTER THEIR INTELLIGENCE VALUE HAS BEEN DEPLETED.

#15 I guess the CIA forgot all the stuff they learned while operating Air America in Southeast Asia. Each aircraft had six or seven different tail numbers, six or seven different sets of papers, and a bunch of other stuff. This sounds more like a charter operation than "black" ops, and the CIA doesn't CARE if people know. The reporter is a frustrated little toad that wants to be a big toad, but doesn't have the intelligence for it. Guess he'll continue to swim in the same little pond in someone's back yard until he gets a CLUE.

Treasonous, seditious, whatever ... it's definitely a threat to our national security. Just because you have a right to do something doesn't make it the right thing to do. This reporter needs that quote tattooed across his forehead.

You can safely bet that the tail numbers on that craft have already been changed.

I'd also wager that there's a phone tap in place for a certain reporter.

#18 You know, more I think about it, more am I convinced that some of the $21B stolen from the oil for food programm went to the MSM worldwide. Some "urubus" are paid informers. Sooner or later the CIA or other Secret Services (if I may say secret) will get them.

Good call Old Patriot.

"Speaker: But Kalla Fakta can now disclose that it was an American plane. A Gulfstream 5, a very exclusive small private jet. The Bromma plane had the registration N379P , and proved to be owned by an anonymous company on the East coast of USA.

Mary Ellen McGuiness: That was our aircraft. You come to the right office.

Speaker: We call and want to hire the aircraft, but get the answer that it only flies for the US government.
Mary Ellen McGuiness: That is correct. We only lease through the US government, we are on a long term lease with them.
Let me see if I find someone call you back."
