Torture is one thing, but failure to pay your business license is going
too far.

Fee flap focuses on secretive outfit with shady image

The city of Portland says it is investigating a secretive Oregon company
whose airplane allegedly was used to fly terrorism suspects to Third
World countries to be tortured for information. 

The city isn't objecting to what the company does, though, or to supposed
human-rights abuses. Portland just wants its $100 business license fee. 

In early December, Bayard Foreign Marketing took ownership of a
Gulfstream jet that news accounts and human-rights activists say had been
used to ferry alleged terrorists to Egypt and elsewhere for
interrogations using tactics that wouldn't be allowed under U.S. law.
Company filings in Oregon list a business address at a downtown Portland
law office and identify a single owner, Leonard Thomas Bayard.
