Rendition: Difference between revisions

:''You may be looking for the ''[[Rendition (TV story)|Torchwood'' episode of the same name'']]''.''

'''Rendition''' was the taking of individuals from one legal jurisdiction to another. It tended to take two forms, at least on the [[planet]] [[Earth]] in the [[21st century]]. In many cases, it involved a perfectly legal arrest and extradition. In others (called 'extraordinary rendition'), it was ''wholly illegal''.

This latter form of rendition was possibly practised when [[CIA]] agent [[Rex Matheson]] took [[Rhys Williams]], [[Gwen Cooper]], [[Anwen Williams]], and Captain [[Jack Harkness]] from [[Cardiff]], [[Wales]], at gunpoint, to the [[United States]], but emphasised that they were not formally (read: ''legally'') under arrest. ([[TW]]: ''[[The New World]]'') However, the event could have been legal with regard to the 456 Amendments. {{wikipediainfo|extraordinary rendition}}
