They're doing it to get them extraordinarily renditioned.

~~extraordinarily renditioned~~

Way too sanitized of a term, when what it really means is 'kidnapped'.

Kidnapping doesn't necessarily involve torture.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

All the more reason not to use the state's sanitized language around torture and kidnapping.
