Irish should take a stand against rendition

WE are delighted that Irish people in general do not appear to accept the 'extraordinary rendition' of people held by the US authorities in their 'war on terror.'

However, we are very disturbed by the lack of response from the Government, and in particular the Minister for Justice, on this issue.

Torture should be denounced as a completely unacceptable method of extracting information by any free and democratic society.
