Yes, this is from the Daily Kos, so I wouldn't put much stock in it until has popped up in a few more places.

CIA Torture Jet wrecks with 4 Tons of COCAINE

This Florida based Gulfstream II jet aircraft # N987SA crash landed on September 24, 2007 after it ran out of fuel over Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula it had a cargo of several tons of Cocaine on board now documents have turned up on both sides of the Atlantic that link this Cocaine Smuggling Gulfstream II jet aircraft # N987SA that crashed in Mexico to the CIA who used it on at least 3 rendition flights from Europe and the USA to Guantanamo's infamous torture chambers between 2003 to 2005.

Of course just because the CIA used this plane does not mean they were the ones using it at the time but considering what is known about the infamous Air America and the previous Iran-contra affair, it should at least stir the imaginations of many.

Judging by the title, I thought maybe the pilot had stepped into the cabin to horsewhip someone and that caused the crash.

Daily 'screw them' Kos - the website whose owner said 'screw them' about Americans killed in Iraq.

Disgusting.

Here's a book about the Iran Contra that might be interesting to some. I know it was interesting to me, especially this write up, because during this time DoS, USAID was possibly funneling research funds to gun runners.

What I enjoyed seeing was a news report earlier in 2007 out of Afghanistan where one of the American commanders complained that there was no longer any way to counteract or reduce the opium poppy growers proliferating inland in Afghanistan. This was after the country was basically cleared of Taliban and Al Qaeda. Read between the lines, folks.
