"Ghost Plane" author hits the blogs

Rendition is one of the most pernicious abuses of this administration, a kind of perfect storm of immorality, counter-productive national security effort, foreign policy disaster, and executive power over-reach. Stephen Grey, who did amazing work to put together "Ghost Plane," the story of international prisons sanctioned by the U.S. Government and used by the CIA to hold and torture people suspected of terrorism.

Especially in the wake of false confessions (which is what torture was historically designed to elicit) this issue is even more important. More background here.

Grey is doing a chat right now over at FDL, which really deserves just a ton of credit for their Book Salon efforts, so go check it out.
