As @NC_Governor and @JoshStein_ should know by now,
@MohamedouOuld was kidnapped by the #CIA using Smithfield-based affiliate Aero Contractors. So were dozens of others.
A state investigation of these crimes is long overdue. https://t.co/IgiC0wBsuC

A significant step towards justice by @GJC & @ACLU. Each of the victims were rendered by Aero Contractors, a CIA shell company in North Carolina. Despite evidence of Aero's participation in rendition & torture, @NC_Governor & @JoshStein_ remain silent. https://t.co/vcq5pDgmyF
My newest article for @indyweek examines North Carolina's outsized role in the CIA's torture program after 9/11 and how anti-torture advocates want the records released. https://t.co/z8MbHehUPl @NCTorture @RepDavidEPrice
"North Carolina Democratic Congressman David Price is requesting that the CIA disclose information regarding the state’s outsized role in the rendition, detention, and interrogation (RDI) program implemented in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks."

@NCPolicyWatch An important step towards accountability and acknowledgement for North Carolina's role in the CIA Torture Program.
"Until we take these official steps, our nation will live under a moral cloud, and we are at risk of repeating these shameful acts." - @RepDavidEPrice

The national reckoning sparked by George Floyd's death draws parallels to another struggle for accountability: the post 9/11 torture program, writes @cvt_staff @katherga1 and Juan Mendez, on the @UN Int. Day in Support of Victims of Torture.

Prof. Coleman, @NCTorture co-chair in @TheObserver op-ed: By declining to investigate "torture taxis," North Carolina continues its shameful complicity in CIA torture program

@NCTorture Anti-toruture activists in NC say the state is uniquely suited to address the issue of the CIA's rendition program. Look at my report for @shadowproofcom about the @NCTorture's findings about the state's role in the rendition program.

Officials should shed light on NC’s role in detainee renditions for #torture as shown in @thereportmovie - “The Torture Report” - @NCTorture https://t.co/nS96erv5M5
"A government that enables torture & does not hold itself accountable runs the risk of repeating that tragedy." Why have @NC_Governor@JoshStein_ refused to acknowledge NC's documented role in CIA torture, or publicly denounced the use of torture? It is time. #TruthMatters
"The trailer for @thereportmovie
says, 'truth matters.' That certainly applies to our state’s torture taxis -- truth and justice both matter, and our elected officials should not be ignoring them."

"Enabling torture is not a record of which our state can be proud. Since the release of Torture Flights, hundreds of North Carolinians have begged our state government to ensure that this shameful role is not continuing. Sadly, neither @NC_Governor nor @JoshStein_ has responded."
Guantanamo Bay opened on this day in 2002. Here is why torture doesn't work, in 60 seconds - by someone who saw the US government's use of 'enhanced interrogation' with his own two eyes.
