Some may not be familiar with Aero Contractors , the largest tenant at JNX This photo was taken before the airport used a state transportation grant to fortify that corner of the airport fence so visitors could no longer get this close - Aero was founded in 1979 by a pilot who previously flew for Air America in Indochina It’s a North Carolina corporation that appears to have just one client the CIA Page2171 March 5 , 2018 – 6 00 pm Continued - Aero Contractors has been headquartered at the Johnston County Airport since its founding N379P , one of the two aircraft used by the CIA to transport at least 49 people subjected to extraordinary rendition , was based at this airport Slide Notes - Aero Contractors also kept N313P , a Boeing business jet , in a hangar it built for itself at the state - run Global TransPark in Kinston Together the two planes flew 80 of the CIA’s rendition missions between 2001 and 2004 - At least 49 human beings were stripped , beaten , drugged with anal suppositories , diapered , put into jumpsuits , blindfolded , goggled , and strapped in uncomfortable positions onto the floor of the plane for long trips to unknown fates - At first they were taken to Egypt , Jordan , Syria , Morocco – where foreign partner regimes with repressive security forces would interrogate for the CIA using torture For example , here is Abou Elkassim Britel , whose wife appealed to you in 2011 for acknowledgement and apology For example , men taken to Egypt were beaten with flex hoses , tortured with electric shocks , and forced to lick the floor of their cell Slide Notes - The plane based here in Johnston County , N379P , was especially active in taking prisoners to black sites in Afghanistan and Poland when the CIA got them up and running - The CIA used various forms of water torture , including this simulated drowning , and wrapping naked prisoners in plastic sheets filled with ice water Slide Notes - Romania was the location of another black site N313P is the Boeing that Aero Contractors kept at the Global TransPark in Kinston - At the black sites , the CIA threatened some prisoners with a makeshift electric chair Several were subjected to so - called “ rectal feeding ” - By early 2004 , Aero renumbered the Gulfstream to N8068V because the previous tail number was “ burned ” Here’s the only woman prisoner we know Aero transported for torture She and her husband were opponents of the Libyan dictator Gaddafi , so the CIA handed them over to Gaddafi’s security chief She wasPage3172 March 5 , 2018 – 6 00 pm Continued pregnant , and when they put her on the plane , tape was wound around her body head to toe , and one eye was taped open for the entire 17 - hour flight Slide Notes - Most of these detainees , and dozens of others like them , were eventually freed with no criminal charges , due process , apology , or acknowledgement And since there were no consequences , the US government might well carry out rendition and torture again This is not a partisan issue Alberto Mora was a high - ranking official under George W Bush , and when he testified to the NC Commission of Inquiry , he said - Bob Orr is a Republican and retired NC Supreme Court Justice He feels the North Carolina torture inquiry are important Ms Cowger concluded the presentation stating they would be very interested to hear the thoughts of the Board of Commissioners Chairman Jeffrey P Carver commented that a lot of information has been given to the Board at this meeting and some of it he recalls seeing years ago from past presentations Chairman Carver continued that he does not understand why NC Stop Torture Now is coming to the Johnston County Board of Commissioners with the issue because it is a federal matter Chairman Carver stated he will listen and read the material , but the Board has 200,000 citizens to consider , schools to build , and planning and zoning matters to attend to among other things , and he asked what right does the Board have to tell the Governor , Attorney General , or President to call for an investigation Walt Caison , 312 N Massey Street , Selma , stated the Board of Commissioners has as much right to question anyone above them politically as much as NC Stop Torture Now has the right to question the Board of Commissioners because it is a free country and it is the Board’s decision to utilize that right or not Chairman Carver clarified that there is a big difference in questioning someone versus telling them what to do 7 Manager Reports and Comments A Merger with Alliance Behavioral Healthcare County Manager Rick Hester and County Attorney Jennifer Slusser presented and requested approval of deal points for the incorporation of Johnston County into the Alliance Behavioral Healthcare catchment area At the inquiry of Commissioner Cookie Pope , Ms Slusser assured the Board that the consumers would see no change in the service they receive and Alliance will continue to have a site within Johnston County that will be fully functional and staffed Mr Hester also noted the Johnston County Health Department is a subcontractor of providing those services Upon a motion by Commissioner Ted G Godwin , seconded by Commissioner Larry Wood , and carried unanimously , the Board voted to approve the following deal points for the incorporation of Johnston County into the Alliance Behavioral Healthcare catchment area Deal Points for the incorporation of Johnston County Into the Alliance Behavioral Healthcare Catchment Area 3 1 2018Page4173 March 5 , 2018 – 6 00 pm Continued WHEREAS , Johnston County Area Authority remains a single -
