What is extraordinary rendition?
Well extraordinary rendition is a total misnomer for two reasons. One is why is it extraordinary? Any rendition is extraordinary. The word rendition is totally unnecessary. We have a useful term for it that we have used for many years. It is called kidnapping. That sums up what is going on. We do not need this legal term extraordinary rendition. Rendition is when you take someone without legal process from one country, and you take him against his will to another country or another place. You interrogate them and abuse them. That has been the crime of kidnapping for many many years and so you get the death penalty for that in some American states. I can only wish that George W. Bush would think twice. Perhaps we should put him on trial for some capital defense. I would defend even him, for the death penalty, believe me.
