America's secret "Extraordinary Rendition" torture program

In the Feb 8, 2005 edition of "The New Yorker" Jane Mayer wrote an article entitled "Outsourcing Torture" about a Canadian citizen who was arrested in a US airport because his name popped up on a list of possible terrorist suspects. He was then flown to numerous places ending up in Syria where he was tortured.

Anyone have any information or opinions on this "Extraordinary Rendition" program?

Interesting....wanting to read into it, i clicked on the link. Doesnt work dude

torture em all and let god sort them out.

if what is claimed in this article is true then little if anything seperates the americans doing this "rendition" stuff from the vile bastards in iraq who tortured their fellow iraqi political prisoners.

think of it: torturing people who are NOT terrorists into confessing they ARE terrorists just so that we have an excuse to imprison them.

I'm old enough to remember 5 cent sodapop. And I think I remember someone back then saying,

"The end does not justify the means".

If you're interested in the topic of extraordinary rendition, check out this thread. It discusses the Arar case.

Bill Clinton gave these powers to the CIA.

This is an interesting article on the earlier forms of rendition. I'm not familiar with the author however, so I can't say how accurate it is, but it's an intersting read.
