	Extraordinary rendition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Extraordinary rendition is a United States government term for an extra-judicial procedure of sending criminal suspects, generally suspected terrorists, to countries other than the United States for imprisonment and interrogation.
		The first individual to be subjected to rendition was Talaat Fouad Qassem, one of Egypt's most wanted terrorists, who was arrested with the help of US intelligence by Croatian police in Zagreb in September 1995.
		Proponents of extraordinary rendition, and the similarly controversial concept of unlawful combatant, argue that torturing terror suspects, however distasteful, is necessary to help prevent further terrorist attacks, which may only be a matter of hours or days away.

	MEI: "Extraordinary rendition"
		The CIA began the rendition programme in the early 1990s, but it was expanded after the 11 September attacks, accord-ing to Michael Scheuer, a former CIA counter-terrorism agent.
		The New York Times has joined the chorus of the critics of rendition and called, in a recent editorial under the headline “Torture by proxy”, the US the “partner of some of the world’s most repressive regimes”.
		Rendition has become “central to anti-terrorism operations at the CIA”, which also operates clandestine camps around the world for prisoners it does not want the Red Cross or the American public to know about.

	Introduction of Legislation Prohibiting Extraordinary Rendition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Under the name ``extraordinary rendition'', the CIA reportedly sends terrorism suspects, sometimes on the flimsiest of evidence, to foreign countries that are known to employ torture in prisoner interrogation.
		The practice of extraordinary rendition, the extra-judicial removal of people in U.S. custody both domestically and abroad to foreign governments that are known to use torture, has received little attention because of the degree of secrecy with which it occurs.
		Extraordinary rendition is outsourcing torture, and it is morally repugnant to allow such a practice to continue.

		With the Renditions, the bass line was easy to follow—and very present, meaning that you could feel it as well as hear it.
		Although the Renditions’ highs are just a little less present and solid than the ProAc’s, I speculate that toeing the speakers in a bit more may negate this.
		The Renditions speak with an honest voice that steers clear of an obvious "personality." Perhaps this is their trait, and it’s impressive.

	CBS News \| Extraordinary Rendition \| March 6, 2005 11:00:04
		Some of the men who were the subject of extraordinary rendition have been released, presumably because they were not terrorists, and they are speaking out about what they endured in the name of the war on terror.
		The government, predictably, has moved to dismiss the case on a number of grounds, including the fact that it would force the feds to reveal "secrets" that would impair their ability to win the war on terror.
		For his part, Arar claimed that his "rendition" violated his constitutional rights as well as his rights under the Torture Victim Protection Act, a federal law passed in 1991 that gave federal courts jurisdiction over lawsuit brought aliens (like Arar) alleging torture by a foreign nation.

	The New Yorker: Fact
		Critics contend that the unstated purpose of such renditions is to subject the suspects to aggressive methods of persuasion that are illegal in America—including torture.
		Since September 11th, as the number of renditions has grown, and hundreds of terrorist suspects have been deposited indefinitely in places like Guantánamo Bay, the shortcomings of this approach have become manifest.
		Another case suggests that the Bush Administration is authorizing the rendition of suspects for whom it has little evidence of guilt.

	Lawmakers Oppose Practice of Extraordinary Rendition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Although members of Congress support the war against terrorism, there is increasing criticism of a policy known as extraordinary rendition in which individuals suspected of involvement in terrorism have been sent to other countries, often for interrogation sometimes facing torture there.
		President Bush's defense of rendition coincided with a victory on Capitol Hill by lawmakers opposing extraordinary rendition.
		"Reinforce prohibitions on rendition that are already binding on the United States under international law by unequivocally requiring transfers of individuals to other countries occur with due process guarantees and in conformity with our international obligations,” she said.

		Rendition to torture is the legal and moral equivalent of engaging in torture directly.
		The current practice of so-called “extraordinary rendition” is an affront to the fundamental human right not to be subjected to torture.
		Yet the cases of rendition that have come to light stand in stark contrast to that claim.

	Turns of Phrase: Extraordinary rendition
		Most people know rendition as a posh word for the performance of an actor or musician, but in the time of the first Queen Elizabeth—about 1600—it referred to the surrender of a garrison (the occupants rendered, or gave themselves up, to the victors).
		In US law rendition refers to the transfer of individuals from a foreign jurisdiction to the USA to answer criminal charges; the defendant is said to have been rendered up to justice.
		A problem for the security forces is that once brought to the USA the person is subject to US law and the rules of due process, which of course excludes torture.

	U.S. Newswire : Releases : "American Bar Association Statement on 'Extraordinary Rendition' Provisions of HR 10" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		The American Bar Association objects strongly to the inclusion of provisions authorizing "extraordinary rendition" in the House leadership's bill that purports to implement the 9/11 Commission recommendations.
		Extraordinary rendition not only violates all basic humanitarian and human rights standards, but violates U.S. treaty obligations which make clear that the U.S. government cannot avoid its obligations under international law by having other nations conduct unlawful interrogations in its stead.
		Rejecting extraordinary rendition will demonstrate our respect for the rule of law and help protect American troops who may be detained by adversaries who may be disinclined to honor international obligations in light of the U.S. government's failure to honor its own.
