In "Extraordinary Rendition," FRONTLINE/World investigates the CIA's controversial practice of rendering terror suspects for interrogation, often in countries where torture is common. As members of a CIA face trial in Italy for a kidnapping in Milan, FRONTLINE/World correspondent Stephen Grey, author of "Ghost Plane," travels to sites in Europe and Africa, and ultimately to Washington, D.C., to uncover the hidden truth about one of the darkest realities of the war on terror.

@flyingspoons447 ,i think kidnapping comes close!

ER created and coined by some no named bureacrat in DC. We deserve exactly what's coming to us in the US. It is the fault of the American public for allowing this to continue. Remove the politicians,bankers,and corporations!

Extraordinary Rendition was never passed into law by either Reagan or Clinton. It's 'extralegal,' meaning there are no laws defining it either way. It is (almost) a moral decision.

Bush and his thugs rendered numerous prisoners. This is illegal. It has resulted in men dying and disappearing. What happens when other countries do this to Americans? The U.S. most have hearings to ascertain how, why, and when these renderings took place. Those responsible must be punished!

He speaks in past tense as if this isn't still going on. ER has never stopped or slowed down.

ER is an official term and it is legal.

It was first authorized by Reagan and passed into law later on by Clinton. The Bush crew then abused the hell out of it, stripping away the rights of everyone.

It isn't just used on Foreigners, they abduct and torture American citizens too.

The majority are wrongfully targeted and tortured but eventually released without charge because they are innocent.

I hate Bush too but look this was put into effect under the Clinton Admin. Not the Bush... Believe me its not only him. He is just the guy out front. They are all puppets, you cant trust any of them regaurdless of party.

Stephen Grey is a brave and principled man. The radical opposite of those exposed by his truth-seeking work, who make mockery of the nature of Law.

The US has lost their reputation around the world thanks to the Bush

The transfer of people from one country to another without any legal process. If you're wanted for a crime in another country, you have a right to go through a process called extradition. That's when one nation officially asks another to surrender a suspect or a convicted criminal.
