Paul last saw the Gulfstream V about 18 months ago. He comes down to
Glasgow airport's planespotters' club most days. He had not seen the
plane before so he marked the serial number down in his book. At the
time, he did not think there was anything unusual about the Gulfstream
being ushered to a stand away from public view, one that could not be
seen from the airport terminal or the club's prime view.
But that flight this week was at the centre of a transatlantic row that
saw the prime minister being put on the spot on the floor of the House
of Commons and the US secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice, forced on
the defensive during a visit to Europe. The Gulfstream V has been
identified as having been used by the CIA for "extraordinary
renditions" - abducting terror suspects and taking them to secret
prisons around the world where they may be tortured.
