It claims that the aviation firm Jeppesen, a subsidiary of Boeing, 'knowingly provided direct flight services to the CIA enabling the clandestine transportation of Bisher al-Rawi to secret overseas locations where he was subjected to torture and other forms of cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment.'

'Being a victim of the CIA's rendition programme was horrific beyond words,' al-Rawi said yesterday.

Oh this should be very interesting ! Hopefully it will play out in full public view.
