* Extraordinary Rendition Scandal Reaches New Heights: Rice on the Offensive
in Europe Over Bush Administration's Use of "Torture Flights" *

The scandal over the Bush administration's use of so-called "extraordinary
renditions' is reaching new heights. Rendition - what many call kidnapping -
is the highly controversial practice of transporting detainees seized
overseas by U.S. agents to countries known for using torture. On Sunday, the
Washington Post detailed how a German citizen was seized in Europe by the
CIA, beaten, drugged and held to a secret prison in Afghanistan for five
months before the agency realized they had the wrong man.
