Here’s one of those New York Times pieces of “investigative journalism” that raises the serious question: in a time of war, is there anything the Times wouldn’t publish? Do they even discuss it? CIA Expanding Terror Battle Under Guise of Charter Flights. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)

SMITHFIELD, N.C. - The airplanes of Aero Contractors Ltd. take off from Johnston County Airport here, then disappear over the scrub pines and fields of tobacco and sweet potatoes. Nothing about the sleepy Southern setting hints of foreign intrigue. Nothing gives away the fact that Aero’s pilots are the discreet bus drivers of the battle against terrorism, routinely sent on secret missions to Baghdad, Cairo, Tashkent and Kabul.

That should be “formerly secret missions.”
