A NATION OF SHEEP Quotes

As long as “The Judge”, FOX News senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano, does not mind, I am going to be adding a new category of post to my blog: A Nation Of Sheep quotes.  That is, selected quotes taken from Napolitano’s EXCELLENT and TIMELY new book titled A Nation Of Sheep.












I have posted three times previously about Judge Napolitano.  Read those posts at the following locations:

Today’s quote (one more reason we must have Ron Paul for president) taken from pages 162-163:

THE CIA AND EXTRAORDINARY RENDITION

In June 2007, six leading human rights organizations compiled a report that names thirty-nine people believed to have been held in secret U.S. detention centers, whose current whereabouts remain publicly unknown.  they are called “disappeared” detainees.  The government has refused to release any information about the location of the prisoners or their identities.

But there are Americans outside of the government who do know where they are, Americans whose Hamptons summer homes and country club memberships are made possible by the extraordinary rendition program.

The staff at Jeppesen International Trip Planning, a subsidiary of Boeing, the world’s largest aerospace company and a publicly traded American corporation, arranges everything needed for “efficient, hassle-free, international flight operations.”  Their biggest client: the CIA.

“We do all of the extraordinary rendition flights; you know, the torture flights.  Let’s face it, some of these flights end up that way,” Jeppesen managing director Bob Overby told his employees at a staff meeting.

Most of the planes used in the transportation of prisoners are owned by no-name charter airlines that are actually CIA front companies.  Jeppesen handles the rest.  Two of Jeppesen’s trip planners are specifically assigned to handle the logistics for the rendition flights.  From flight plans and air-space clearance to hotel reservations at luxury resorts for the aircraft crew, Jeppesen knows how to keep its clients happy.  And, according to Bob Overby, the CIA makes complicity for kidnapping and torture worth their while.

“It certainly pays well. [The CIA] spare[s] no expense.  They have absolutely no worry about costs.  What they have to get done, they get done,” said Overby.

Private corporations should not be profiting from this illegal torture program.  Worse, our government should not be using your tax dollars to pay private corporations to break the law!

But the American public barely flinched when the story of Mr. el-Masri broke [torture victim, recently refused redress for the outrages done to him, because of so-called ’state secrets’ privilege].  The price of Boeing stock held steady. . . .
