Will the Leader ask the Government a number of specific questions in regard to the Gulfstream jet, whose registration number I quoted on previous occasions in the House? I understand that peace activists have logged this Gulfstream 5 aircraft landing at Shannon Airport 14 times. Is that an accurate number or is it more? Is the aircraft being used in a process known and endorsed by the CIA as "extraordinary rendition", which involves a special clandestine team of special forces, set up to evade international law for the purposes of kidnap, which is involved in the transport of suspected terrorists around the world? Is the Government aware of the statement of a former CIA member, Mr. Bob Baer, that "if you want a serious interrogation, send a prisoner to Jordan; if you want them to be tortured, send them to Syria; and if you want someone to disappear, send them to Egypt"?
