TORTURE TAXI PILOTS ENJOY DIGS AT MED PLAYGROUNDS: Those CIA men really know the best places!

You're just halfway home from delivering some al Qaeda scumbag...innocent man to the torture Salt Pit in Afghanistan and where do you stay?

It was snowing back in the United States, so CIA torture taxi Aero Contractors pilots named in the German kidnapping case of Khalid Masri chose the Gran Melia Victoria luxury hotel on the island of Majorca. This, according to a story in today's Los Angeles Times entitled, " 'Ghost pilots' of the CIA's rendition team." (Sounds like a computer game!)

So in case you were wondering, no, you'll never be put in a diaper, drugged and chained to the floor at the Gran Melia! Instead, you can decompress at the elegant seaside restaurant, shown below.

And even if someone else is being waterboarded, don't furrow your brow! All you have to do is worry about views of the water and the babes -- in the ocean or at the swimming pool!



The Gran Melia is not the only gold star resort!

Another is the Royal Plaza Hotel on the island of Ibiza, also a well-known Mediterranean playground. While the CIA might be keeping other rooms dank and unseasonably cold for the unlawful combatant or person of interest, you certainly won't be cold in the Royal Plaza's cozy jacuzzis.

And if the thought of flying people you don't know anything about to torture chambers in lousy countries makes your conscience quiver, you can always assuage it with some pie at one of the nice buffets.

"On the flight back to Washington," wrote the Times, ". . . the rendition team celebrated by ordering 17 shrimp cocktails and three bottles of fine Spanish wine..."


Reader's note: The Los Angeles Times determined the names of the 'ghost pilots' wanted in the German kidnapping case. It knows where they live, down to an aquarium in one of the men's living rooms in Clayton, NC. However, it was not made clear in the article whether German authorities had the same information. The newspaper said it would not reveal actual names because the accused are charged only under their aliases, which the paper did publish. (Story not linked. Reason: Hidden behind registration procedure bull.)
