Wait, are they melting people down to make soap now? Fight Club wasn't just a meme then...
Extraordinary Rendition is the euphemism from the aughts from which the movie Rendition was titled. It means taking your detainee somewhere else, often across national borders, to a black site, usually to do things there for plausible deniability (e.g. we don't torture in the United States )
Looks like I missed that movie, I'll have to check it out.
And I don't think I've ever heard the term "rendering" used in that context, I guess we just used other terminology. Thanks!
