The United States’ extreme reaction to the
September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks was shared by many of the world’s
governments, with more than a quarter of them supporting the Central
Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) extraordinary rendition program either because
they believed in it or because they just wanted to stay on the good side of
the United States government.
Rendition is the practice of bypassing due
process to seize a suspect in a foreign country and transport him to another
country where there is a warrant for his arrest. Extraordinary rendition is
the practice of seizing a suspect and transporting him to another country for
interrogation, even though he is not wanted for a crime.
