Extraordinary rendition is an American extra-judicial procedure which involves the sending of untried criminal suspects, suspected terrorists or alleged supporters of groups which the US Government considers to be terrorist organizations, to countries other than the United States for imprisonment and interrogation.[2] Critics have accused the CIA of rendering suspects to other countries in order to avoid US laws prescribing due process and prohibiting torture, even though many of those countries have, like the US, signed or ratified the United Nations Convention Against Torture. The critics have called this practice "torture by proxy"[3] or "torture flights"[4]. Reportedly, in a number of cases (such as Khalid el-Masri) the practice of "extraordinary rendition" has been applied to innocent civilians, and the CIA has reportedly launched an investigation into such cases (which it refers to as "erroneous rendition"). In el-Masri's case, he may have been mistaken for another man with a similar name, Khalid al-Masri. The introduction of the term "erroneous rendition" should not be interpreted to mean that extraordinary rendition of any intended subject is legal. Although rendition is not new, the current US policy, of "extraordinary rendition," appears to be different in nature and its usage as a tool in the US-led "war on terror" to apprehend suspected terrorists but not place them before a court of law is new http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraordinary_rendition What is the 'inside track' on the latest developments in "extraordinary rendition"?

Will they send meij there? At least he gets some good food there and doesn't polute discussions boards.
Maybe they will having spent over 13 years working and living in Middle East countries they apply a friendly 'home service' rendition program, and would you believe that program can be initiated for a simple traffic violation for a foreigner Hence it seems quite appropriate that 'export services' rendition programs are used by many countries, I think it is what these people expect anyway, so no point in dissapointing them and preventing them from going on rendition programs Why not it is a 'no brainer service' which works
They are complaining about it in Iraq. In fact, terrorists in Iraq are screaming for the Americans to return: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2006/09/10/wirq10.xml I guess panties on the head and britney spears music isn't so bad after all.
