map of the CIA flights (dial up !)

[tocqueville]

big dots = number of flights
square = color of the countries suspected of having secret detention centers
stars = US bases or US military presence

notice the French base at Istres near Marseille. The US presence there is small. It's a major French airforce base and the US personal works there in case of an emergency landing of the shuttle. There is pilot training exchange too.

1. cool! i don't see any squares (except in the legend) do you?

[tocqueville]

2. it's in the legend n/t

[Chautauqua]

3. Actually

It's the countries colored in peach (the color in the square in the caption)

They are:

• Poland
• Czech Republic
• Kosovo
• Romania

5. So the center in France

Is a small dark peach dot with a light peach square in it. I see now.

Gawd, I hate being this blind.

8. no

only some countries are entirely colored light peach

[Warpy]

4. They're the blue dots with the fuzzy white things inside

The map is too small and the contrast too low to let you see them as squares.

This map is a great catch. I'm saving it, printing it, filing it.

I also need to check the French press more often, especially the leftist press. They've got a good one.

6. Nope

The Blue dots with the white stars in them are American military bases.

7. legend translation:

(rough translation; French is not my forte)

- peach circle with number inside or next to them: location with number of CIA flights.

- light peach: countries suspected of harboring secret CIA prisons.

- blue circle with white star inside: military base with US presence.
