Ghost flights over Canada (cia)

When the 40-seat turboprop landed in St. John's one recent Friday evening, there was no reason to believe ghosts were involved in the procedure.
There is no Devon Holding and Leasing Inc. at 129 W. Center St. in Lexington, N.C. There is no phone listing. The city offices have never heard of it; neither has the Chamber of Commerce.

It is almost certainly a CIA shell company, existing on paper only, and the turboprop was likely carrying a “ghost” prisoner to a country where torture is used during interrogations.

1. more

The New York Times reported last spring that the CIA owns at least 26 planes, 10 of them purchased since 2001.

The newspaper said the CIA has tried to conceal its ownership by setting up seven shell corporations that have no employees but are registered owners of the aircraft.

Many of the flights, the Times said, fly out of a tiny airstrip in Johnston County, N.C., sometimes stopping at Washington’s Dulles Airport to pick up CIA agents.

2. The prisoners were not taken to ghost countries. They are real and I

will bet that we pay those countries or someone in those countries a nice little sum for the privilege of their cooperation.
