"An explosive new book provides a rare glimpse into the full extent of the Agency's controversial terror renditions." —Time For the first time, Stephen Grey tells the inside story of international prisons sanctioned by the U.S. government and used by the CIA to hold and torture people suspected of terrorism. Using contacts deep inside the U.S. government, Grey reveals how deeply the Bush administration is involved in the program and questions the truth of statements made by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. He also shines a spotlight on the heads of European nations who turned a blind eye to the program when it showed up in their back yards. Grey takes an unflinching look at a horrendous practice that scorns Geneva Convention rules and is powered by corruption at the highest levels of governments worldwide. Through his unprecedented access to CIA flight records and dozens of sources at the senior levels of the current administration, Grey has produced a story of flight plans, extreme torture, and the clash of religions and governmental posturing that goes on today. Ghost Plane tells the stories of individuals abducted at airports around the world and transported for interrogation and torture on a fleet of leased planes manned by CIA operatives. Grey paints a disturbing ethical picture of the war on terror and lays the responsibility for abduction and torture at the doorstep of Washington, D.C. "Powerful and damning . . . [Grey] is a prodigious digger and more than a single-minded muckraker. His attention to detail can be chilling." —The Washington Post
