He said that walking into one of the prisons was like going into a different world just like Alice falling down the rabbit hole and ending up in a strange new world that no one knows existed. Sometimes the torture would take place in houses that people would think are just normal homes, but in reality it is far from a home. It is a completely different world behind that front door. Vaughan 3 With the rendition program, some mistakes were made. One man named Khaled el-Masri was taken from Macedonia because government officials thought they seen his name on the terror watch list.
