I am pleased to hear, via the Friends Committee on National Legislation that an act is now before the House of Representatives which would restrict or terminate the practice of "extraordinary rendition", that is, of the U.S. government transporting captives to countries where the authorities will torture them.
I am even more pleased that this bill, HB952, is called the Torture Outsourcing Prevention Act.
A brutally blunt name is very appropriate under the circumstances. There comes a time to call a spade a goddamn shovel.
