Quick! Get this over to the DUmp!

The CIA’s secret prisons are being shuttered. Harsh interrogation techniques are off-limits. And Guantanamo Bay will eventually go back to being a wind-swept naval base on the southeastern corner of Cuba.

But even while dismantling these programs, President Obama left intact an equally controversial counter-terrorism tool.

Under executive orders issued by Obama recently, the CIA still has authority to carry out what are known as renditions, secret abductions and transfers of prisoners to countries that cooperate with the United States.

Current and former U.S. intelligence officials said that the rendition program might be poised to play an expanded role going forward because it was the main remaining mechanism — aside from Predator missile strikes — for taking suspected terrorists off the street.

I may enjoy the next four years after all.
I can see November 2 from my house!!!

Spread my work ethic, not my wealth.

Forget change, bring back common sense.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Man. I'm glad I didn't vote for Obama, I'd hate to have something like this on my conscience.  :-)
"When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion - when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - you may know that your society is doomed."

Alas, redstate has underestimated the stupidity of our political counterparts. He writes:

Quote
And when I say “back” I mean that it’s going to become the damned default option for detainees. You howled when we tried to go with an unlawful detainee designation to handle these cases; you shrieked when we set up Gitmo; and you’d whine if we shot them out of hand. The only thing left is to hand these sons of bitches over to countries without our Bill of Rights and hope that this is enough.

You see, the libtards WILL insist on full Bill of Rights protections for any suspected terrorist captured by US forces.

Will it matter that they aren't US citizens or taken on US soil? No
Will it matter that they are, by definition, unlawful combatants? No
Will the legal process waive rules of discovery to protect sources and methods? No
Will they overlook speedy trial provisions while interrogations continue? No
Will they bypass Miranda provisions? No
Will the exclusionary rule be set aside because soldiers aren't cops? No

These idiots do not operate on any recognizeable plane of reality. All they know is hatred of us because they're supposed to be smarter than us; so whatever we want they oppose even if they have to lose all semblance of rationality to do it.
According to the Bible, "know" means "yes."
