news as seen fit by corporate owned media to disclose

Blackwater-backed Torture Flights Caught in the UK … By Adam Howard … Posted on June 10, 2007, Printed on June 11, 2007 … http://www.alternet.org/bloggers//53723/ … EXERPTED
Blackwater USA, the nefarious sounding and behaving contracting company, whose reputation for treachery rivals Halburton's, has been linked to a plane being used to shuttle "terror suspects" to secret prisons in Poland and Romania. These "torture flights" have been roundly condemned by human rights groups.
The Blackwater connection has come to light because of a plane spotted landing in the UK this past weekend. Inside the supposedly civilian plane were four armed US security policemen. … The Daily Mail reports: … [This] disclosure follows damning findings by the Council of Europe human rights organization, which accused Tony Blair on Friday of colluding in a CIA operation to run secret prisons in Poland and Romania by allowing the agency to use UK airports.The study was contradicted on the same day by a report from the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), which concluded that there was no evidence to support the claims. But the director of the human rights group Liberty revealed that ACPO had admitted it restricted its inquiry to a review of media reports on the issue. She accused them of rushing out their 'cursory' findings as part of a politically-motivated 'spin' operation. The US plane's arrival was also logged by Touchdown News, a group of enthusiasts who record the movements of military aircraft at RAF Mildenhall and RAF

Why does our “corporate” controlled mass media choose not to disclose these topics to “us” – that’s you and me…?

One can search USA Today, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, LA Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Washington Post and other major newspapers and you may find buried in the obituary section oblique reference to the Blackwater Torture Flights.

Why the need to bury and deceive “us” from the disclosure of truths such as this…? Might it be because collectively “we” have chosen to give up control of our moral compass allowing it to be caged by “corporate” & political interest harboring attitudes and beliefs often diametrically opposed to the collective long term best interest of the whole of mankind…?

Living as an “ostrich” it’s impossible to see, hear, and have voice in the reality around you.
