Then-Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said, in a press statement on December 5, 2005: ” ‘For decades, the United States and other countries have used *renditions* to transport terrorist suspects from the country where they are captured to their home country or to other countries where they can be questioned, held or brought to justice.’ I made clear that, ‘In conducting such renditions, it is the policy of the United States, and I presume of any other democracies who use this procedure, to comply with its laws and comply with its treaty obligations.’ ”
