The act of removing an individual from one jurisdiction to another without legal process. Extradition is the judicially supervised removal of individuals from one jurisdiction to another. Rendition, in the contemporary (ca. 2006)context refers to extra-legal removal. Alleged "enemy combatants" were transported from the United States to foreign countries without being charged with a crime so that the individual could be interrogated using methods not allowed by the Geneva Convention or the United States Constitution.
The United States policy of rendition lead to the torture of the suspected terrorist in a jail in Syria.

Ever so slightly illegal process whereby agents of the government of the United States kidnap people, against whom they have probably irrational suspicions (see Guantanamo), transport them via various European states, with the illicit approval of their governments, to dodgy states in eastern Europe and then beat the fucking crap out of them in pursuit of the truth.
Extraordinary rendition is an invention of limp-wristed liberals and other faggots. Fox News can find no evidence that it ever actually happens, and even if it did, what's the problem?
