PBS Frontline Looks at Extraordinary Rendition

For sheer audacity, nothing beats the sight of a spokesman for the Egyptian interior ministry describing someone else's experience of being kidnapped, blindfolded, taken to a far-away prison and tortured this way: "Some people love to attract the limelight to give themselves more importance than necessary." That display of official cynicism is just one of the treats Frontline has in store for tonight's exploration of the anti-terrorist kidnapping practice known as extraordinary rendition.
