Yesterday, I caught a bit of a CBC report about "extraordinary rendition" and the Khaled Masri case. During the show, there were several clips of a discussion with Michael Scheuer, who would say things like, "well, our rendition programme protects the United States, and if some people in Germany don't like that, well I don't really give a damn what they think." It was exceedingly creepy. But, I guess, this is the way a lot of people (especially in the intelligence community) think.
