Another aspect of this policy is the transfer of prisoners by the CIA and other US government agencies to countries where they will be subject to torture. Known as “extraordinary rendition,” the practice is complemented by the CIA’s own highly secret detention facilities around the world, which are operated outside of any legal framework....
