Rendition is such a nuetral word. Kidnapping is the correct one.
Busholini has given permission for this unlawful act. This violate the Geneva Convention & the Constitution of the US. Why is Congress shrugging at this?

1. Take "extraordinary rendition" to the reframing shop, & call it what it is: kidnapping ...
...for purposes of torture.

2. Rendition is a legal term
Edited on Thu Nov-08-07 12:52 AM by nadinbrzezinski
rendition



1: the act or result of rendering
Example: the Court's rendition of judgment

2: extradition of a fugitive who has fled to another state

See definition number two

That is why they don't use kidnaping... since technically it is not

Not that I am defending the practice.. not at all

3. It is kidnapping when a suspect is grabbed & taken to
a Secret Prison or to a country that does the Interrogation, all without any charges, no access to an Attorney or any Habeas Corpus.

5. Yes, rendition is a legal term but extraordinary rendition is the extrajudicial
term for kidnapping

7. You're right though. Rendition is a legal term and a legal practice
Extradition treaties refer to the act of legally extraditing a person from one country to another as rendition

I was just pointing out that it's extraordinary rendition that isn't legal and is kidnapping

4. Agreed. Just like water torture.
Not "waterboarding."
