The suit says they "...provided flight services that enabled..."

Presumably, the act of enabling the CIA came from providing charting to far away places. Under this logic they could have enabled the CIA to conduct a training flight, deliver flowers, or anything else one could do with an airplane.

The question is this: What liability and responsibility do support vendors have to aircraft operators with respect to the conduct, legal or not, of their flights.

My guess is that the CIA didn't ask Jepp for a Rendition flight plan to Torture Central. So then, what responsibility does Jepp have for interrogating the CIA as to why they need these charts?

Under this logic, the fueler enabled the conduct of this flight way more than Jepp charts. Why not go after catering too?

Thanks for indulging my Perry Mason fantasy


I rest my case.
