Extraordinary Rendition

"The bottom line is getting anyone off the streets who is involved in acts of terrorism is a worthwhile activity...

"The practice of capturing people and taking them to second or third countries arose because the Executive assigned the job of dismantling terrorist cells to the CIA.

"When the agency came back and said 'Where do you want to take them?' the message was 'That's your job'."

He added: "The idea that this is a rogue operation that someone has dreamt up is just absurd. I personally have no problem with doing any operation as long as it's justified legal by my superiors."


So when they start using their new hired hands here in the Homeland to round up "risks", do they have to ship said risky business all the way to Egypt, or will Gitmo contract out again?

And how to assess legal treatment of said detainees if the "superiors" don't know where they're kept?

Thanks to Michael Moore.
