Obama Administration Sets Up New Interrogation Unit

A new interrogation unit will be created and will report to the White House-based National Security Council.

The Obama administration on Monday unveiled its latest takeover of a troubled industry -- this one the interrogation sector.

The White House announced that President Obama has approved the creation of a specialized interrogation unit that would focus on key terror suspects and report to the White House-based National Security Council.

The decision, which comes as the CIA faces fresh scrutiny about interrogations it conducted under the Bush administration, paves the way for the president to appoint a de facto interrogation czar -- to join the ranks of White House-based directors for health care reform, the auto industry overhaul, energy and other issues.

The new unit would be led by an FBI official, with a deputy director from somewhere in the government's vast intelligence apparatus, and members from across agencies. It will be housed at FBI headquarters in Washington.

I wonder if this is legal or even constitutional?  Oh wait, never mind, those are mere trifles for this administration.

Why could I see a unit like this being used within our borders instead of on the people it SHOULD be used on?

I cannot imagine Bush even trying to create a secret unit that is comprised of hand-picked operatives making its own policy and conducting itself outside the established institutions and beyond congressional oversight. Nor can I imagine the commies blithely sitting by and watching it happen.

Imagine the year is 2012 c. late November when the NYT blairs on its front page:

President-Elect Palin Appoints VP-elect Perry to Oversee Obama-Era HVT Interrogations Unit

Now imagine the commentary that follows.

The DUmp DUmmies will write all the questions that the interrogation unit will use and each one will end with, "Pretty please with a cherry on top."
