There's a not so quiet groundswell building in the blogosphere, just beneath the MSM radar, concerning the practice of rendition or returning suspected terrorists and sympathizers to their country of origin for interrogation. There are certain advantages to this practice, but there are numerous legitimate concerns as well. There have also been tragic mistakes and abuses.
For insight into why rendition is done see Michael Ignatius' column in the WaPo. There is much to dislike about Ignatius' piece, but he does explain the rationale for rendition fairly.
For a tragic illustration of the potential for abuse of rendition and why many are calling for restricting it or eliminating it see here.
We imagine that we'll be hearing a lot more about this issue in the weeks and months ahead.
