We've heard a lot about the stories of the CIA abducting suspects, sometimes on the basis of a mistaken name, airlifting them off to countries like Egypt for some "enhanced" interrogation. The practice is known as "extraordinary rendition". Now come reports that the UK government may have been doing the same thing, using Greece as its torture chamber, in the wake of last summer's London subway bombing. The reports are being denied by Britain's Foreign Secretary--what else is new?--but the story has so far picked up no coverage in the US. It does suggest that the Blair government, far from being Bush's poodle, is deep in monkey see-monkey do mode. BTW: didn't we have a revolution to avoid being treated the way the Brits treat people?
