"On June 10, 2002, Attorney General John Ashcroft announced that the United States had captured a known terrorist who was exploring a plan to explode a "dirty bomb" on American soil. That alleged terrorist was Jose Padilla, a former street gangster from Chicago. Two years later, in 2004, the attorney general's office announced that after statements from "Al Qaeda operatives," it could now tell the American public "the full story" of Padilla's plot. But what Ashcroft never talked about was how the information was obtained - and how much of it was given to individuals acting on behalf of the U.S. government by a man named Binyam Mohamed. When the full story emerged, it was clear that Mohamed's confession was achieved through some of the worst torture a human being ever had to endure. Arrested at Karachi Airport on April 10, 2002, before Padilla's arrest, Mohamed was put on a luxury executive jet and flown to a notorious interrogation center in Morocco. For more than eighteen months, he was subjected to one torture after another. Beating followed beating, and when that did not work, he says his guards produced razor blades and began to split the skin all over his body, including on his genitals. Binyam Mohamed was not the only person, however, to be subjected to such inhuman treatment. Since 1997, hundreds of people, many of whom have no proven ties to terrorist organizations, have been removed from foreign airports on suspicions based at times on the flimsiest of evidence. They have been escorted away from boarding gates, grabbed while they changed planes, or approached on street corners. Those accused disappeared into a secret world of endless interrogations and torture - all transported courtesy of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. In Ghost Plane, Stephen Grey tells the true story of what became a CIA torture program known by the euphemism "extraordinary rendition" - and the airplanes that make the program run. Begun during the Clinton administration, the program took a decidedly more voracious turn after 9/11. There are now more than 1,000 individuals in a system that captures these ghost prisoners worldwide and then whisks them away to torture centers in Egypt, Morocco, Syria, Jordan, Afghanistan, and other places. On flights originating chiefly out of small, suburban, U.S. airports, CIA operatives dressed in black T-shirts, jeans, and Timberland boots fly prisoners in executive jets to their fate. Stephen Grey has access to the thousands of CIA flight records and has interviewed dozens of sources from the most senior levels of the National Security Council and the CIA. His research on this project has taken him to Britain, Sweden, Italy, France, Germany, Iraq, Egypt, Yemen, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Canada, and the United States. Weaving together the stories of torture, the flight plans, and the governmental posturing, he paints a disturbing picture of the War on Terror that reaches to the highest levels of power in Washington, D.C. In a book that exposes extreme ethical corruption at the heart of this U.S. government program, Ghost Plane paints a vivid picture of the violent and sickening torture being perpetrated in the name of the United States and its citizens." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Under global conditions that threaten the viability of rural economies and the farm sector, Italian national legislation supports both through agritourism, a sustainable development strategy that aims to balance rural economic growth with natural and cultural resource conservation. This book compares the local applications of the ideals of sustainability embedded in the legislation on agritourism in two sites of Southern Tuscany: an inland area that has been strongly affected by rural outmigration, and a coastal mass tourism site that has experienced a significant population increase. The analysis shows that there is a significant variation in farmers interpretations of sustainable development. Factors mediating their differing views include preexisting historic, ecological, and socioeconomic conditions as well as their differing perceptions of the notions of development and conservation. In addition to raising the need for integrating agritourism with other livelihood strategies that reflect alternative views and values, this study emphasizes the role of social science research in identifying sustainable solutions to economic and environmental problems. 284 pp. Englisch.…
