A while ago I found this blog and, in spite of its partisan, paternalistic POV, I found it to be quite eye-opening.
Gup tells how he asked his class of freshmen and sophomores how many had heard of the word “rendition?”—this after years of that word being used in newspapers and on television newscasts referring to the U.S. policy of shipping suspected terrorists off to other nations where they can be tortured to gain information. No one in the class knew. And, when he told them, Gup says they were outraged this had been going on and wondered how this could have happened in America. Gup’s answer was easy: He told his students to look around the room at one another and then he told them, they were “seated next to the answer.”
