The American Civil Liberties Union sued a Boeing subsidiary on Wednesday for allegedly helping the Central Intelligence Agency transport prisoners under its extraordinary renditions programme.I am not sure what the ACLU's legal theory is though.
The ACLU lawsuit alleges that the subsidiary, California-based Jeppesen Dataplan, provided the CIA with services for flights that were used to send three prisoners to secret detention facilities where they claim they were tortured.
So it seems the goal is to shame/embarass/extort companies from helping the govnerment when you don't like what the government has done.
What is next, ACLU to sue Lockheed because the planes these prisoners were transported on were made by Lockheed?
