Torture Taxi: On the Trail of the CIA's Rendition Flights
Trevor Paglen and A.C. Thompson

Trevor Paglen and A.C. Thompson talk about the CIA's practice of sending suspected terrorists to countries where, the authors argue, they are kept in secret prisons and subjected to torture. They explain how the CIA uses front companies to hide the real purpose of these rendition flights and discuss how they investigated the story. This event was hosted by City Lights bookstore in San Francisco.

Trevor Paglen, who is working on his PhD (Dept. of Geography, UC-Berkeley), is the author of the two-volume "Secret Bases, Secret Wars" (www.paglen.com). A.C. Thompson is a staff writer at S.F. Weekly.
