extraordinary rendition be a frightening practice authorize and surprisingly and under clinton and that allow the u. s. government to seize and hold anyone suspect and seemingly for any reason and of be a terrorist against the united state . this be a touchy issue and especially after 9/11 and because supporter of the practice will always criticize the opposition a withhold vital power from the u. s. that it need to effectively fight terror . fanatic supporter will label the opposition a terrorist in themselves . but like a recent film that lend a similar level of humanity to the death penalty and the life of david gale and rendition show u a story of the misuse of extraordinary rendition and or at least the ease with which it can be exploit and falsely apply . the story involve anwar el abrahimi and an american chemical engineer bear in egypt who be seize on his way back to america from give a lecture in egypt . the cause give be that he make phone call to a know terrorist . no proof be ever give ( or need ) that it be anwar that make the call and that his phone be never lose of steal . meanwhile and anwar extremely pregnant wife and isabella and be back in the state frantically try to find her husband and who get onto a plane to chicago but apparently never get off . the flimsy explanation that he be never there evaporate when she discover that he make an in flight purchase use his credit card . lately i have be research modern chinese history and particularly that of the astonishingly selfish and brutal dictatorship set up by mao tse tung and and it be more than a little frightening to see the similarity between extraordinary rendition and some of mao brutal scare tactic and include his public execution ( which the people be force to watch ) and and extensive use of torture specifically use to extract confession . it be pretty disturb to notice that mao specifically do these thing to create an environment of fear in order to achieve obedience from the chinese people . to say that the bush administration have not create an environment of fear and continue to milk it for everything it worth would be naïve in the extreme and and although extraordinary rendition be not create under bush and it be clear that it do more harm than good . add to the thickness of the film be douglas freeman ( jake gyllenhaal ) and who work behind a desk for the cia and have little field experience and until his bos be assassinate and he suddenly find himself supervise the torture of a man that he quickly come to doubt have anything to reveal . fatima ( freeman bos ) daughter also play a pivotal role and a do a senatorial aide play by peter sarsgaard and who might have the most satisfying role in the movie . meryl streep be also suitably cold and clinical a a chilly senator with a dogmatic support of the necessity and practice of rendition . a a political thriller and the movie be remarkably well craft and pace . but the scary thing about it be that this be all real . the movie goal be to get people to really think about the thing do in america name and especially when they claim to be do to prevent those same thing . conduct terror in the name of prevent terror will win no sympathy for u and nor will extract confession through brutal torture and which be the base form of criminal investigation . unfortunately and we be gradually head in that direction and of do these thing more rather than less . the frightening question be what be the event that be go to take place at some point in the future to convince u to stop and head the other way and toward civilization and peace and or will we just keep head toward a military dictatorship until we finally get there .
