Extraordinary Rendition is process of "Snatching" a suspected bad guy from another nation or an American airport and outsourcing their torture to other countries.Osama Hassan Mustafa Nasr, a muslim cleric, was snatched as he left his mosque in 2001. The Italian government has issued warrants for CIA operatives. A similar case occurred with a Canadian who was snatched at JFK. The canadian government conveniently swept it under the carpet for money. Diplomacy at it's best!Egypt Cleric Says Americans Tortured Him

February 25,2007 | CAIRO, Egypt -- An Egyptian cleric allegedly kidnapped off the streets of Italy by CIA agents in 2003 claimed Sunday that the Americans who abducted him "savagely" tortured him while deporting him to Egypt for interrogation.The allegations by Osama Hassan Mustafa Nasr, who also is known as Abu Omar, are likely to intensify criticism of the United States' "extraordinary rendition" program. Italy has indicted 26 Americans and five Italian agents accused of seizing the cleric in 2003.Nasr told the pan-Arab satellite TV station Al-Jazeera that he "was savagely tortured by the CIA when kidnapped and during my deportation" to Egypt.
