Headsup! NY Times glamorizes CIA kidnappings and prisoner outsourcing!
it's called "extraordinary rendition," and you won't believe the Hollywoodization that the NY Times does in its big article on this practice, which is against international law, not to mention human decency. Here's the thread - come join the discussion!

Thread title: CIA's EXTRAORDINARY RENDITION finally comes to the NY Times - sort of

Apparently there are a lot of people even at DU who don't know what "extraordinary rendition" is - yet another sign of how this information has been so thoroughly suppressed in this country. Be sure to get the REAL story from the work of UK investigative journalist Stephen Grey, linked to in an older thread in the opening post of the linked thread.

1. hmmm...I MEANT to post that in GD, but if you don't mind the intrusion
into your decompression too much, I'd be happy to see you join the dicussion! Ordinarily I keep my Lounge posts light - this is a place to get away from the scary stuff for a while.

So I apologize for my error.

3. ROTFLMAO! I LOVE IT!!!!!! The Lounge truly rocks, as you've just shown.
The dKos crowd truly must not know what they're missing!

(That holy rodent looks a lot friendlier than the real one!)
