It is well for all to be aware of the illegal CIA activities, especially Muslims, whose lives and freedom are at stake.

European investigators have been saying they "have no proof" of illegal CIA activities because European governments won't cooperate. Here is proof -- or at least information that will help them get the proof they say they need.

EU AGREED TO CIA PRISON FLIGHTS -- With these words: "Both sides [EU-US] agreed on ... increased use of European transit facilities to support the
return of criminal/inadmissible aliens...."

"European transit facilities" are the airspaces and airports now claimed to be violated. "The return" is what the CIA calls "rendition"; and "criminal/inadmissible aliens" are persons who have been renditioned to Guantanamo, CIA prisons in Eastern Europe, and states that practice torture in the Middle East. You can read the actual PDF documents to get the details of how the US and EU agreed to "remove" people to these places without legal extradition.
-------------------------------

A US PROPOSAL right after 9/11 included these words:

Quoting: "5. Keeping open European transit facilities to support the return of criminal/inadmissible
aliens from the United States to Europe or the country of origin.
Improve cooperation in removals of status violators/criminals/inadmissibles.
More fulsome use of immigration laws to effect removals of fugitives without recourse
to extradition."

The above is in the first European PDF document (13803/01), of Nov. 12, 2001, entitled: OUTCOME OF PROCEEDINGS
of : Strategic Committee on Immigration, Frontiers and Asylum - Meeting with the United States


THE EU CAVED IN ("agreed") a little over a year later with these words:

Quoting: "4.1. ... Both sides agreed on the areas where cooperation could be improved i.a. the exchange of data
between border management services, increased use of European transit facilities to support the
return of criminal/inadmissible aliens, co-ordination with regard to false documents training (US
side will provide the EU with a paper suggesting modalities for the coordination of false documents
training) and improving the cooperation in removals."

The above is in the second European PDF document (5762/03), of Jan. 27, 2003, entitled: New Transatlantic Agenda. EU-US meeting on Justice and Home Affairs. Athens, 22 January 2003.

-----------------------------------------

Persons who signed this agreement could be liable to civil and criminal prosecution, if it can be proved that they intended to cause illegal actions.

MORE LISTS AND BACKGROUND

CIA DDO (Jose Rodriguez), the chief spy? CIA planes, front companies, lawyers? The 22 American CIA agents allegedly led by Robert Seldon Lady in the 2003 Milan kidnapping of Muslim cleric Abu Omar? All are listed below. The Italian secret service SISMI knew in advance of their operation, just as Mr. Lady claims. There is a document that proves, in writing, such operations involve the cooperation of EU governments. The Milan prosecutor Spataro knows this. Prime Minister Berlusconi knows this. Still, these two men are on a collision course as Spataro prepares for a show trail of the 22 "in absentia" while Berlusconi attempts to get away with denying everything.



Also, Italy is one of 25-plus countries (listed) in which the CIA and foreign spy agencies work out of the same office (CTIC, see list)! Any illegal operations can be stopped by lawsuits and liens on planes and companies (another list).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CLIP AND SAVE LIST OF PLANES BELOW. It will make following the news (lawsuits, prosecutions, investigations) much easier!

A few days after the Athens agreement on renditions, Robert Lady and a CIA/US military team allegedly kidnapped in Milan and transported to torture in Egypt one Osama Moustafa Hassan Nasr, or Abu Omar. Now, while poor Bob Lady sits out an exile (possibly in Punta Gorda, Florida, instead of his retirement villa in Penango, Italy), lying hypocrites in European governments deny knowledge of kidnappings like the one he is charged with in Italy.

Colin Powell is right: the European governments are being hypocrites by denying they knew about renditions and torture flights , or "removals" and "use of European transit facilities," as the document calls them -- or lynchings of Muslims.

Besides Robert Seldon Lady, Italian judges have issued arrest warrants for 21 other Americans allegedly involved in the kidnapping. Three of them, "diplomats," reportedly used their real names: Sabrina De Sousa, Barbara Patricia Suddath, and Ben Amar Harty (61, Iowa-born, Arab-speaking). Also wanted is Lt. Col. Joseph L. Romano III, USAF, who allegedly coordinated the transport of Abu Omar while Romano was working as a security commander at the Aviano AIr Base in Italy. Romano now works at the Pentagon.



ROBERT (BOB) LADY and WILLIAM (BILL OR BILLY) LADY

 http://dc.indymedia.org/mod/comments/update/index.php

Robert Seldon Lady, charged with being the ringleader, is an American born in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, on February 2, 1954. His father, William (Bill or Billy) Seldon Lady was born in Arkansas and lived in Florida before moving to Honduras when he was 20 (in 1946). Billy Lady was an adventurer in Honduras during the Iran-contra affair. This 1980s affair, which Bill Lady may have had nothing to do with, involved the sale of arms to Iran by Lt. Col. Oliver North, operating out of the Reagan White House. North and his associates used the proceeds from the Iran arms sales, and proceeds from sales of Colombian drugs in the US, to finance material aid to the contra ("against") rebels trying to overthrow the elected leftist Sandinista government in Nicaragua. The CIA was heavily involved in this.

Bill Lady (again, Bob Lady's dad) ran an airline out of the Bay Islands (see map) at the time. As a mining prospector, he had thoroughly surveyed the Olancho department (province) of eastern Honduras, where most of the Iran-contra action occurred in Honduras, and neighboring parts of Nicaragua. He is cited in histories of Honduras mining, so vast was his experience. Mr. Lady had a farm near Danli in the El Paraiso department, at the time, in the thick of the action. (SEE MAP.) He also was an accomplished cruise sailor, a network controller of a worldwide amateur-radio network used by military personnel, an aviation pioneer of Honduras, and the expert on eastern Honduras terrain. He may have rented aircraft to the US Government, which of course is not illegal.

His son, the alleged renditioner Robert Seldon Lady, joined the CIA in Latin America in about 1984 after a stint in the New York City police department. In 2001, before leaving for Milan, Italy, Bob Lady worked out of Abita Springs, Louisiana (near New Orleans, where he also had lived for a time in the early 1970s), and the US Embassy in Panama under Jose A. Rodriguez Jr, now the Deputy Director for Operations (DDO) of the CIA. Bob Lady is charged with being the ringleader of the Feb. 17, 2003, kidnapping of Abu Omar off the streets of Milan. Abu Omar was transferred to Egypt by the Boston Red Sox Gulfstream executive jet N85V (now N227SV) and the CIA Learjet N221SG. The Learjet is operated by Aero Contractors Limited, which has locations at the airports in Smithfield and Kinston, North Carolina, that recently have been picketed by protesters.

[As for Jose A. Rodriguez Jr, he apparently was a military attache -- a MILGP or MILGRP (US Military Group) commander (an Army colonel) -- at the US Embassy in Argentina in the mid 1990s. Officially a Military Group officer advises the US ambassador on military matters and is a liason between the US Government and the host country's security and military forces (often a funnel for money, arms, and intelligence). US diplomats, even military officers such as the recently ousted (for espionage against Venezuela) US naval attache in Venezuela, Lt. Commander John Correa, often are CIA operatives. They aid US puppet governments, no matter how repressive, and seek to overthrow host governments that are not submissive (Hugo Chavez's), no matter how democratic.

Jose A. Rodriguez, in "civilian" life, became the chief of the Latin America Division of the Operations Directorate of the CIA. That division is considered obscure by CIA-watchers, but CIA meddling in the internal affairs of other nations was perfected there (notably in Nicaragua, Honduras, and El Savador in the Iran-contra era  http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB27/ ) and subversion certainly is especially useful to the CIA in the Middle East right now.

Rodriguez has been criticized for helping out, in 1997, a friend arrested for drug offenses in Latin America (Argentina?). This help could have been supporting one of his employees caught in the line of duty ("CIA" is sometimes taken to mean "Cocaine Import Agency"), or merely a "professional courtesy" for a peer.

Jose Rodriguez later assumed the post of Director of the CIA's Counterterrorism Center (CTC), near the top of the CIA totem pole, and was at this job in the seminal period of Presidential putsch-making after 9/11. In 2004, as director of the CTC, he visited Athens, Greece, to advise the Athens Olympics organizers, including the chief organizer (Gianna Angelopoulos-Daskalaki) on security matters. In a March 23, 2004, meeting with organizers he was accompanied by the US Ambassador to Greece, Thomas Miller.

Jose A. Rodriguez was promoted to the CIA's Deputy Director for Operations in November 2004, succeeding Stephen Kappes. This is perhaps the CIA's No. 2 position in terms of power and put him in charge of the CIA's clandedestine (spying and dirty tricks) operations. Rodriguez dropped out of sight soon after his appointment was announced in the media, but the CIA never reported any reassignment for him. Presumably, after the 2005 reorganization of the Intelligence Community under Director of National Intelligence John Negroponte, Jose Rodriguez continues as the head of CIA clandestine operations. This is basically his old job (DDO) with a new title, Director of the National Clandestine Service, and new responsibilities to oversee day-to-day operations of all intelligence gathering by America's human (more or less) agents. This would include agencies besides the CIA, but not electronic data mining and other methods besides HUMINT.

Rodriguez today (February 7) fired his successor as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, Robert Grenier -- not "aggressive" enough.]

Bob Lady claims that the Italian secret service, SISMI knew in advance of the Abu Omar snatch, and he is right, based on the EU-US agreement and on the existence of a joint US-Italy "Counterterrorist Intelligence Center" (CTIC) in Italy.

Bob Lady, as the Milan station chief of the CIA, is rumored to have cooperated in the back-channel transmission (avoiding official CIA and other channels) of forged Niger documents to Dick Cheney's and Paul Wolfowitz's White House Iraq Group, also to the Pentagon's Office of Special Plans (the "Stovepipe") created by Wolfowitz. President Bush picked false intelligence based on those documents, for use in his 2003 State of the Union address and elsewhere, to sell his Iraq war plans.

Karl Rove's foreign policy advisor, Michael Ledeen, was a key figure in Iran-contra while the Ladys were in Honduras. If they were involved with the CIA in Honduras at the time, Ledeen knew them.

The Milan prosecutor, Armando Spataro, has hard drives captured from Lady's home in Penango. Lady in turn had his father's hard drives. Bob Lady's hard drives have revealed much about the abduction of Abu Omar; and the drives, or Lady himself, may have much to reveal about Iran-contra. The Milan prosecutors have this evidence. Alumni of Iran-contra, like Michael Ledeen, are in the current Bush administration and were leaders in fabricating a cause for invading Iraq. Some of the people involved in fabricating a causus belli definitely are on their way to prison (Pentagon analyst Larry Franklin), and some, like Lewis "Scooter" Libby and Karl Rove, may well be (Libby has been indicted and Rove continues to be under grand-jury investigation).

INDIVIDUAL AGREEMENTS FOR 25-PLUS CTICs -- JOINT SPY VENTURES WITH CIA

Beyond knowing about CIA rendition flights, the Europeans are cooperating fully in them. The CIA has supposedly "secret" CTICs (Counterterrorist Intelligence Centers) in over 25 countries, including some supposed Iraq-war opponents like France, Germany, and Sweden. These are joint-venture spy-nests with the local intelligence service (Italy's SISMI, for example) and military. The CIA supplies about 20 agents for each and an about-$20-million-dollar annual budget for each. The CIA and foreign intelligence services share offices, equipment, and information continually. There is no way SISMI could NOT have known in advance about the Abu Omar snatch in Milan.  http://www.refdag.nl/artikel/1238465/CIA%20spil%20van%20groot%20antiterreurnetwerk.html

Here is a list of the countries with CTICs:

EUROPE
1. Albania
2. Bosnia
3. Britain
4. Bulgaria
5. France
6. Germany
7. Hungary
8. Italy
9. Kosovo (province of Serbia)

24. Jordan
25. Libya
26. Morocco
27. Saudi Arabia
28. Turkey
29. Yemen

OTHER
30. Australia
31. Canada

In the spring of 2005, the CIA's Deputy Director for Operations (the head of the espionage directorate), Jose A. Rodriguez Jr, told House and Senate intelligence committees that 25 CTICs had been instrumental in arresting over 3000 suspected terrorists.  http://www.refdag.nl/artikel/1238465/CIA%20spil%20van%20groot%20antiterreurnetwerk.html Many of these have been renditioned; flown to the jails of the CIA, US military, and brutal regimes (Egypt, etc.); tortured; and subjected to indefinite imprisonment -- all without any legal proceedings except, sometimes, kangaroo courts in countries to where they have been flown.

The renditions, overflights, and imprisonments have taken place mainly in the above countries. Human rights groups and other investigators in those countries have a lot to learn.


US FIRMS, PERSONS TO BE SUED FOR CIA'S TORTURE, EVILS

Gettng governments of the US and the above countries to do anything about CIA abuses will be hard. However, people can be sued for these abuses when they can be identified in the US and other countries more or less subject to the rule of law.

In the US, Aero Contractors (which operates CIA planes out of Smithfield and Kinston, NC) and its president Norman Richardson, Richmor Aviation (NY) and its owner Mahlon Richards, CIA shell companies and their lawyers like Dean Plakias (MA) and Scott Caplan (WA) -- these are but a few of the many US firms that could potentially be served legal actions by victims of CIA kidnapping and torture, based on the existence of the landmark lawsuit filed Dec. 6 by CIA victim Khaled el-Masri of Germany. Already Aero and Plakias have heard from Masri's lawyers. Then there are CIA officials like James Pavitt, its retired DDO (Deputy Director for Operations). The DDO reportedly is the specific officer who approves kidnappings and torture measures for specific victims. The DDOs can be gone after. Pavitt was the DDO from Aug. 1999 to Aug. 2004, succeeded by Stephen Kappes (Aug. to Nov. 2004). The Nation says the DDO since Nov. 2004 is Jose Rodriguez.  http://www.thenation.com/doc/20041213/vest

BESIDES PERSONS ALREADY CHARGED, like the alleged organizer of the Abu Omar rendition in Italy, who reportedly is in Punta Gorda, Florida, who else might be liable, criminally or civilly, for Abu Omar's Feb. 2003 abduction from Italy and transport via US planes and air bases to Egypt? Omar, when briefly released, called home to report what happened to him and got rearrested for that. He was tortured and maimed, allegedly in the presence of CIA officer Robert Lady, and remains imprisoned by his Egyptian torturers.

There are numerous current and retired employees of the CIA's Operations Directorate who potentially could be sued for CIA renditions and related abuses. Some of them have signed fat book contracts and are reaping large speaking fees bragging about their outrages. An example is Michael Scheuer, the McLean, VA, man who was in charge of snatches from 1995, when the first victim was seized, until June 1999. There were some 50 victims in that period. Since 9/11, there have been 150 to 200 snatches.

According to the Washington Post, in the wake of 9/11, our President ordered the CIA to break up the organization that murdered 3000 innocent Americans. Director-CIA George Tenet delegated the task of individuals to target to DDO Pavitt and Rodriguez, who at the time was the director of the Counterterrorist Center (CTC). Already Tenet has been named in the groundbreaking lawsuit by el-Masri, along with CIA "John Does," which probably includes Pavitt and Rodriguez.

As for Jose Rodriguez, before he became the CIA DDO in late 2004 he was the head of the CIA Counterterrorist Center, CTC. The CTC is the part of the CIA that carries out renditions. So for ones done in that time frame, Rodriguez could be liable personally. No wonder he is so publicity shy.  http://www.refdag.nl/artikel/1238465/CIA%20spil%20van%20groot%20antiterreurnetwerk.html

AERO CONTRACTORS is another potential defendent and is being sued by the German citizen Khaled el-Masri and the ACLU. Aero Contractors is a real, rather than a shell, company that provides the pilots and flight crews for most CIA planes. The planes are owned by the CIA through phony companies fronted by lawyers. However, the victims' lawyers can serve papers on the CIA-front lawyers, who are known, and thus secure liens in US courts against the CIA's planes.

A list of CIA shell companies for owning aircraft (while leaving actual operations to Aero Contractors and other CIA contractors) appears in this article, along with their agents (lawyers) for legal service.
