Italian Judge Convicts 23 Americans In Kidnap Case : NPR: "An Italian judge has found 23 Americans and two Italians guilty of the 2003 kidnapping of an Egyptian cleric from Milan. The Americans were convicted in absentia. The trial was the first in the world on extraordinary rendition. That's the CIA practice of capturing terrorism suspects in one country and taking them for questioning to another, where torture is often practiced."
