He did not make that claim out of thin air, but produced documents that were publicly available. The New Yorker provided more details on this topic in a piece they did on Paglen: "More than fifteen hundred documents were made public in the case: invoices, e-mails, cell-phone logs, receipts. These contained financial data—a typical rendition itinerary seems to have cost the government about three hundred thousand dollars—and structural details of the rendition program."
