      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!
