...been documented. But Grey says he believes "hundreds" of others have not been identifed. In interviews, former CIA agents who had worked in the renditions program told Grey the numbers of renditions were "in the low hundreds." Goss told the Senate Intelligence Committee in February last year that with rendered prisoners, "once out of our control, there is only so much we can do" to avoid torture. Goss, who near the end of his CIA tenure led an agency crackdown on leaks and fired an agent for being one of the sources for the Washington Post's reporting...

Many Core courses are so big that they render any meaningful discussion during lecture essentially impossible. Thankfully, a back channel exists.
