Numerous rights groups and public inquiries in Europe have accused the Bush administration, with the complicity of the UK and several other foreign governments, of pursuing the practice of extraordinary rendition, secret detention, and torture. The US government has long been carrying out renditions, where prisoners are illegally captured and flown to third countries, where they are subject to torture and other inhuman interrogation methods, in violation of international laws that protect fundamental human rights.

The film Outlawed: Extraordinary Rendition, Torture and Disappearances in the "War on Terror" sheds light on these accusations. 

It details the stories of Khaled El-Masri and Binyam Mohamed, who have suffered as a result of the above practices.
