Report shows Ireland facilitated CIA rendition programme

The report indicates that flights involved in the transportation of some high profile detainees are suspected of having refueled at Shannon.

A REPORT PUBLISHED today shows that some 54 countries helped to facilitate the CIA’s secret detention, rendition and interrogation programme in the years after 9/11, including Ireland.

The report by the Open Society Justice Initiative said the countries participated in these operations in various ways, including by hosting CIA prisons on their territories; detaining, interrogating, torturing, and abusing individuals; assisting in the capture and transport of detainees and permitting the use of domestic airspace and airports for secret flights transporting detainees.

It also said some provided intelligence leading to the secret detention and extraordinary rendition of individuals; and participated in interrogating individuals who were secretly being held in the custody of other governments.

Foreign governments also failed to protect detainees from secret detention and extraordinary rendition on their territories and to conduct effective investigations into agencies and officials who participated in these operations, according to the report.

The report comments on Ireland permitting the use of its airspace and airports associated with CIA extraordinary rendition operations and references several examples since 2002.

Concern

The European Parliament, the Council of Europe and the United Nations have all expressed concern over the years about Ireland’s alleged cooperation in the CIA rendition program.

A 2007 European Parliament report expressed serious concern about the 147 stopover made by CIA-operated aircraft at Irish airports that on many occasions “came from or were bound for countries linked with extraordinary rendition circuits and the transfer of detainees”.
U.S. court records from a lawsuit involving Richmor Aviation, a company that operated CIA extraordinary rendition flights, also show that at least 13 flights operated by Richmor involving U.S. personnel landed in Ireland between 2002 and 2004.

Richmor-operated flights were involved in the extraordinary rendition of the Egyptian cleric Abu Omar, and are also suspected of having refueled at Shannon before transporting Abd al Nashiri, alleged to be the mastermind of the bombing of the navy missile destroyer the USS Cole .

Diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks in 2010 revealed that former Irish Foreign Affairs Minister Dermot Ahern told US Ambassador Thomas Foley that he was “quite convinced that at least three flights involving renditions had refueled at Shannon Airport before or after conducting renditions elsewhere.”

Government “acted to ensure continued US military transits”

Other cables revealed that former U.S. Ambassador James Kenny noted in 2006 that the Irish government had “acted to ensure continued US military transits at Shannon in the face of public criticism” despite public concern that the airport was being used for extraordinary rendition flights.

The government responded to concerns by the Irish Human Rights Commission in 2005 that inspections were not necessary because it had received assurances from the United States that detainees had not been and would not be transported illegally through Irish territory.

In 2011 the UN Committee against Torture also said it was concerned about the “inadequate response by the government with regard to investigating theses allegations.

The report recommends that the governments involved refuse to participate in the CIA’s detention and rendition programme and disclose all information relating to human rights violations. It also urges governments to conduct investigations into human rights abuses and provide compensation as well as putting safeguards in place to ensure it does not happen again in the future.

Commenting on the report today Amnesty International Ireland Executive Director Colm O’Gorman welcomed the report, which confirmed the findings of the organisation’s own report in 2010. He said:

It is undeniable that the Irish government knew rendition flights transited Ireland and that they knew this breached the legally binding international convention on torture. Yet they did nothing. Official Ireland was prepared to ignore our role in kidnap and torture for the sake of maintaining good relations with the United States government.

“We have repeatedly called for an independent investigation into the use of Shannon airport. This investigation must also make clear who knew that we were complicit in torture and why they failed to act,” he said.

    This can’t be much comfort to affected mortgage holders.

    Remember being told bankers salaries in state owned banks would be capped.. Then finding out this was not being enforced.

    Then that waster Noonan comes out and does nothing more than ask politely for caps to be adhered to…

    Let them cop on a small bit and pay back their mortgages. Too much “can’t afford it” but out socialising at the weekend, still driving big cars and no respect for the common folk that have to bail them out.

    The banks and bondholders were bailed out. The Euro 6 billion paid to the banks to sort the mortgage debt problem was used to boost the banks balance sheet.

    It is important to know who was bailed out and who was not.

    Some have values and interests which coincide with those of the Bankers and speculators. My identification is with unfortunate persons on reduced incomes who can no longer afford to repay exorbitant mortgages on previously priced homes. Where will all of these dispossessed people go?

    I have 2 years to go on an affordable mortgage on an affordable home but my heart and support goes out to those who through no fault of their own were ripped off to enrich greedy bankers and reckless developers.

    This should indeed be very good news for all Irish Nationwide Building Society Family Home mortgage holders , as the purchasing Groups will most probably be purchasing the mortgages concerned at about a third of the pre- bust values.
    This should afford those – especially outside of the immediate Dublin area , an opportunity to refinance the “purchase” of their mortgages back at huge discounts .

    The Government , in the meantime , must now ensure availability of “new” mortgages being made available to the existing Family Home Owners !

    Banks inveigled people into paying unaffordable prices for sub standard homes fuelled by excessively plentiful credit, promoted by the criminally irresponsible Central Bank of Ireland and the complicit IFSRA.

    Look at the causes first.

    @ Jeremy.

    All the mortgages that the jokebanks sold between the early noughties and the point where they (all bar none) corruptly/criminally bust themselves, were basically of a subprime, built to fail standard.
    The culprits not only were allowed to walk freely away from their responsibilities but were handsomely rewarded with money that was basically stolen from their victim’s pockets.

    The Irish Bernie Madoffs get kept in clover on their victim’s money, instead of the 150 years in jail that they deserve.
    The country has been sentenced to eternal debt slavery by corrupt/criminal elitist sycophants who laugh at you from their perches above the law.
    Who really gives a fcuk if anyone pays their mortgage to these toxic jokebanks at this stage?
    The veil has been lifted mate.

    This is inaccurate. , it’s a Vokubtary agreement to adhere to the code of conduct . This gives no protection . The vulture fund could change their mind. This is a last minute sinister move. Too little too late. Protest tomorrow at. 1pm outside Leinster house

    Repossessions need to happen, people not paying their mortgages need to be removed from their proprieties asap, I can’t buy a house because of these boom-time freeloaders.

    Protected but not for long. All those freeloaders will get kicked out of their houses and the likes of me will come in like a vulture and get me some nice property. I will be laughing all the way watching the poor souls having to move to Letrim (or worse, to where Tommy lives) with tears in their eyes. Happy days.

    DaveMac, I hope that you are using a touch screen instead of a hard keyboard in view of your splashing.

    Poor old ,Dave , and his pretend money , so sad, missed out in the boom , in the bust , and now the boom , again !!

    Aww little Thomas is getting frustrated at my superiority! Little man.

    Of course I missed out in the boom, stupid. Because of that I have 6 figure savings.

    I am in the process of looking for a house, price rises are good in my view! are you really that stupid? haha, what a weirdo you are!
