Foreign Ministry finds no evidence of CIA prisoner transport via Finland
Finnish Ministry for Foreign Affairs says there’s no proof that US Central Intelligence Agency had transported suspected terrorist prisoners via Finland…
The Foreign Ministry emphasises in a report submitted to the Council of Europe that it is not possible to investigate retroactively what was being carried in a US-chartered plane that landed at Helsinki-Vantaa International Airport in the spring of 2003.
Late last year the Foreign Ministry asked the US for a clarification on what the plane in question was transporting. According to the answer, the documents indicated that the plane had a ten-member crew and no other passengers. According to official information, the plane was carrying supplies for the US Embassy in Helsinki.
Come on EU. get on board. They hate you and you bring up little junk like this?
Get the memo, and read it twice.

Notice how the comments are sparce when an article like this appears. Imagine if the story had said, “Secret CIA flights in Finnish airspace”..
Oh, the uproar that would have caused!

The Americans are still trying to find Finland. They cannot find Suomi on their map
