Extraordinary rendition?

Google it.

Before today, I can't remember having heard the term. Now, just the thought of what it means, as interepted by U.S. officials, fills me with terror.

Are we fighting terrorism with terrorism? Are we perpetrating the very crimes against humanity we say we want to protect the world from experiencing? And if we are, has our government lost sight of what the repurcussions could be while an ignorant America remains oblivious to the atrocities we allow our government agencies to committ.

I won't write again about the little old ladies who called me after September 11 asking why, except to say, this is even worse than then. Just as they couldn't fathom anyone hating the United States, Joe America is clueless about just how awful we can be.

Who will be the next victim of the world's retaliation against our actions? I don 't want it to be me.
