CJR Analyzes Reporting On 'Outsourcing Torture'

The July/August 2005 edition of the Columbia Journalism Review (CJR), which bills itself as "America's premier media monitor," has an analysis of reporting on "extraordinary rendition," which, according to CJR,

refers to the policy by which the United States renders unto certain friendly countries (friendly, that is, to the practice of torture) suspected terrorists who would otherwise be protected by the laws of more civilized societies from such information-gathering techniques as having electrodes attached to their genitals or being bodily boiled.
See "State of the Art: Discovering the New Disappeared" for more of deputy executive editor Gloria Cooper's analysis.
