Get a life

I do agree with Mike Easley on this one. He refuses to have an investigation into the alleged "torture taxi". Aero Contractors are just that...a contract air transportation service. I really don't care who they transport or why. There is no reason to picket the business. They are contracted to supply transportation services...period. If the CIA uses them, so be it. It is not proven that the service is used for transporting prisoners to locations for alleged torture. Even if that was the case, I don't care, since the airline is just that, an airline. They don't perform torture. If a prisoner is tortured by "waterboarding", do the protesters picket the utility company? Get a life.

From the WMPM news site:

Support Growing For Investigation In Aero Contractors - Support is growing among human rights groups calling for a state investigation into Aero Contractors based at the Johnston County Airport in Smithfield . The company has been accused of transporting terrorist suspects for the CIA to countries that allow torture during interrogations. Two dozen state lawmakers have joined the groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, who has asked Gov. Mike Easley to initiate an investigation. Aero Contractors also rents a hangar at the Global TransPark in Kinston for a Boeing Business Jet, which was too heavy to fly out of the Smithfield airport. However, there are no records of Aero Contractors making any payments to the state for the hangar they lease for the jet. So far, Gov. Easley and other state leaders have rejected requests for an investigation into Aero Contractors actions.
