Several Protesters Arrested At Johnston Airport [No. Carolina, USA]

Fourteen [people]...gathered to protest the use of the [Johnston County] airport by a company [Aero Contractors] that reportedly shuttles prisoners for the CIA... Some news reports allege those CIA flights are used to abduct terrorism suspects and take them to countries where they are tortured... In March, the assistant general manager [of Aero Contractors] told WRAL the company has government contracts, one of which is a classified contract with Fort Bragg which he cannot talk about. He told WRAL the company merely supplies planes and pilots and that the company only flies to destinations in the United States.
