SAN DIEGO — A branch of the U.S. Navy secretly contracted a 33-plane fleet that included two Gulfstream jets reportedly used to fly terror suspects to countries known to practice torture, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.

At least 10 U.S. aviation companies were issued classified contracts in 2001 and 2002 by the obscure Navy Engineering Logistics Office for the 'occasional airlift of USN (Navy) cargo worldwide,' according to Defense Department documents the AP obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request."
