Extraordinary Rendition 0

NPR tries to track down an airline company implicated in extraordinary rendition. (That’s a fancy word for kidnapping and torture.)

They find–wait! there’s nothing behind the curtain.

From the Day to Day website:

A political scientist professor is focusing on the mode of transportation as way to establish accountability in cases of extraordinary renditions, the CIA practice of kidnapping terror suspects and then flying them to secret prisons around the world. Colin Fogarty from Oregon Public Broadcasting reports.

It’s worth 10 minutes of your time to hear this. And wonder about the people who do this sort of stuff in your name.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
