ACLU to sue Boeing subsidiary in alleged torture cases

The lawsuit says that Jeppesen Dataplan Inc. provided 'substantial' support to a secret CIA program.
By Henry Weinstein, Times Staff Writer

The American Civil Liberties Union announced this morning that it would sue a Boeing subsidiary in San Jose federal court today, alleging that the company helped the Central Intelligence Agency with "the forced disappearance, torture and inhumane treatment" of three men the government suspected of terrorist involvement."This is the first time we are accusing a blue-chip American company of profiting from torture," said ACLU lawyer Ben Wizner, who spoke about the case at a news conference in New York.Mike Pound, a spokesman for Jeppesen, said: "There isn't really anything I can say with the exception that I am aware of the suit. We have not been served. I can't talk specifics about any customers that we might have or the services we might provide for them."Timothy Neale, a spokesman for Chicago-based Boeing, said, "We have not gotten the lawsuit yet, so we are not commenting on it. We are not confirming the reports that Jeppesen did work for the CIA. The services Jeppesen provides are provided on a confidential basis for all its customers."........
