The Republican leadership of Congress is attempting to legalize extraordinary rendition. "Extraordinary rendition" is the euphemism we use for sending terrorism suspects to countries that practice torture for interrogation.
There's a small window here in which people can do something about this, basically taking a few minutes and writing your congressman online or in print. Its a non-partisan issue which is why I sent it to everyone. The bill will pass unless people know about it, so now you know. The links have all the information you need if you're interested.
