“On September 13 [2001], two days after the attacks, [Saudi Ambassador Prince] Bandar met again with the president [Bush] at the White House. The president told Bandar, ‘If we get somebody and we can’t get them to cooperate, we hand them over to you.’ With those words, the president casually expressed what became the U.S. government’s rendition policy–the shifting of terrorist suspects from country to country for interrogation.”
