“FRONTLINE’S Extraordinary Rendition – A Look at the CIA’s Controversial Rendition Program

British investigative journalist Stephen Grey joins the Council for a screening of his PBS’ FRONTLINE/World Video Report, Extraordinary Rendition, and to discuss the CIA’s controversial practice of kidnapping terror suspects for interrogation, often in countries where torture is common. Grey is a leading authority on the Agency’s controversial “rendition” program, having quit his job as head of investigations at The Sunday Times of London in order to independently pursue his investigation. Author of Ghost Plane: The True Story of the CIA’s Rendition and Torture Program and one of the first reporters to track the CIA’s rendition flights around the world, he travels to sites in Europe and Africa, and ultimately to Washington, D.C. for this report, which presents new details and evidence about the U.S. government’s controversial interrogation program and a rare on-camera interview with former Egyptian detainee Abu Omar. This event is co-sponsored by UC Berkeley's Human Rights Center.
