Re: Torture flights finally investigated? (4.00 / 2)

at worst, it would mean that Greenland would be cut out of those countries that people were transported through, which would make it that much easier to watch where they were being transported.

Life should consist in at least fifty percent pure waste of time, and the rest doing what you please.

Re: Torture flights finally investigated? (none / 1)

I guess that depends on whether the 'muricans take the threat seriously enough. If Greenland does decide to zealously enforce the Chicago Convention and catch one of the planes red-handed with a couple of abductees on board, things could blow up in a pretty spectacular manner... (And no, I don't think that's a pipe dream; CIA has not exactly had a stellar record when it comes to predicting the behaviour of foreign countries... I mean, the Shah? The Bay of Pigs?)
