[EORA] Extra-Ordinary Rendition Airlines. (a short story by tribal realities)




In a CENSORED location, there is a U.S. Army Air Field with a CENSORED number of planes, a CENSORED number of men and an UNCENSORED flippant American fictional character singing Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies...
Sitting under a military plane, Bugs Bunny is reading a book: Victory Through Hare Power.
He is laughing at this sentence (pointing his carrot to the illustration on the book) :
"A constant menace to pilots are the Gremlins who wreck planes with diabolical sabotage".

The Gremlins are Saboteurs?
The smart hare is laughing at it. He doesn't know what a Gremlin is, yet.
Then, Bunny goes insane.
S&D. In an effort to search and destroy the demonic Gremlin, he himself destroys the whole plane. Then he goes out of gas.(sounds familiar?)
Wanna be a Falling Hare, too?
Beware of Gremlins. Beware of Bugs Bunny.Beware of your tricky mind.
I guess..You don't wanna be a Fallin Hare, uh?


Today, Bugs Bunny is a genetically modified (GM) rabbit.
Following such a wicked and GM rabbit of demo-crazy... I became a dog of war. 
This is why I am wearing dog tags.
I am a serial number. A mere number obeying orders. No responsibilities. No human emotions, just mechanical execution of decisions made by others.An artifical agent performing Rules of Engagement. Launch a routine of deliberate acts of violence. Then terminate and stay resident. Evil. 
I am a blood thirsty humanoid.  
You know what? War is one giant videogame of death playing worldwide.And I am part of the code.

N221SG..................Kabul
N313P.....................Cairo
N4476S...................Rabat
N44982...................Guantanamo Bay Express
Registration numbers of Boeing 737 airplanes. Followed by respective destinations.
I am a deadly hostess on a torture flight. Extra-Ordinary Rendition Airlines (EORA).

So-called "rendition" illegal flights of the CIA, as reported by Rzeczpospolita










Check-in.
A Demonic International Terminal: Your gateway to extraordinary rendition.
Kidnapping. 
Flying to the Black Site, somewhere.There. You. Are. In Pain. Dunno y?!
Authorizing the "enhanced interrogation techniques"of bad boys.

This is my job and I am pretty good at it.




(a MASSIVE ATTACK track playing in the hare...)
Yes, shall we take a spin again in business
This time is fixed lets sweeten our facilities
It took all the man in me
To be the dog you wanted me to be...
 
"I transfer suspected terrorists on rendition flights" - he said with soft voice - "We do all of the extraordinary rendition flights—you know, the torture flights. Let's face it, some of these flights end up that way."
Yeah, pay the bills
Cells to burn
Mouths to fill
On Boeing jets
In the sunset make glowing threats

Three-piece suit. Smoking cigar like an old-fashioned gentleman.
"We doin' wet leasing. Our corporation is leasing aircraft to other airlines on an Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance and Insurance (ACMI) contract basis.These are highest-quality aircraft operating solutions. This is cost-effective outsourcing." - commented the mid-nineteenth century dinosaur - "We are outsourcing all  this. You know, we are a Democracy, we can't afford all this. 
It took all the man in me
To be the dog you wanted me to be...
"You know, our government, for some reason, signed the United Nations Convention Against Torture, then we got all the due process, habeas corpus and shit like that...thus, in the end we gotta outsource all of that..."
(asking for an explanation)
"I see. But you are still violating the law.How can you do that?" - questions arise.
"Get a load of this...Technically, our law requires us to seek 'assurances' from foreign governments that rendered suspects won’t be tortured, k? Well, we've done that." - the suit is parading.
(asking for an explanation, but unwilling to accept and understand)
"You telling me that you are outsourcing torture to other countries?" - asking and shivering. Feeling dizzy.
"err...we dunno...Actually, the treatment of prisoners may not have been up to U.S. standards." - the cigar-powered three-piece suit concludes - "however, this is not our responsibility. And...at the end of the day...This is War on Terror, remember?"
In other words, this is what is called Torture by proxy: outsourcing torture to other countries, in order to avoid violating U.S. laws. This is an Extra-ordinary rendition, namely, "operations to apprehend terrorists abroad, usually without the knowledge of and almost always without public acknowledgment of the host government..."
"But this is a clear violation of international law!"- shaking with anguish.
"That's a no-brainer. Of course it's a violation of international law, that's why it's a covert action. The guy is a terrorist. Go grab his ass.'"






Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, 
and to give appearance of solidity to pure wind.
