Manchester Police Chief Who Cleared Britain of Helping Secret CIA Flights Is Found DeadROB HARRIS
A city police chief who led an investigation into charges that Britain cooperated with secret CIA flights to transport terrorism suspects without formal proceedings has been found dead, his deputy said Tuesday. Manchester Chief Constable Michael Todd, 50, was found dead in Snowdonia, about 240 miles northwest of London, Deputy Chief Constable Dave Whatton said. He had been missing since going out for a walk Monday during his day off.
Whatton said the body, which was found Tuesday afternoon, had not yet been formally identified but he believed it was Todd.
He said a coroner's inquest would investigate the cause of death and did not give any further details..........
it's some bank dudes NOT terrorists (although i'm not sure those in charge know a terrorist from an 80 year old landing in logan from a european destination. tis' true. a friend's grandmother who DOES NOT SPEAK ENGLISH, who was NOT flying in from a country known for harboring terrorists, who also does not read or write period was detained. pulled off to a 'special room'. her relatives who were picking her up were not notified she was being 'detained' for quite a while. again she is 80!!!)US says it has right to kidnap British citizensDavid Leppard
AMERICA has told Britain that it can “kidnap” British citizens if they are wanted for crimes in the United States.
A senior lawyer for the American government has told the Court of Appeal in London that kidnapping foreign citizens is permissible under American law because the US Supreme Court has sanctioned it.
The admission will alarm the British business community after the case of the so-called NatWest Three, bankers who were extradited to America on fraud charges. More than a dozen other British executives, including senior managers at British Airways and BAE Systems, are under investigation by the US authorities and could face criminal charges in America.
Until now it was commonly assumed that US law permitted kidnapping only in the “extraordinary rendition” of terrorist suspects. ...........
