Rendition of Terror Suspects to Continue Under Obama

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration will continue the Bush administration’s practice of sending terror suspects to third countries for detention and interrogation, but will monitor their treatment to ensure they are not tortured, administration officials said on Monday.
The administration officials, who announced the changes on condition that they not be identified, said that unlike the Bush administration, they would give the State Department a larger role in assuring that transferred detainees would not be abused.

“The emphasis will be on insuring that individuals will not face torture if they are sent over overseas,” said one administration official, adding that no detainees will be sent to countries that are known to conduct abusive interrogations.

But human rights advocates condemned the decision, saying it would permit the transfer of prisoners to countries with a history of torture and that promises of humane treatment, called “diplomatic assurances,” were no protection against abuse.

Fat lot of good it will do. Terrorists keep up on the news.  They know that the US Attorney General is abut to investigate the interrogation techniques of the CIA.

Which means they also know that the guy sitting across the table from them won't do whatever necessary to gt the information anymore for fear of being thrown in jail.

Score a win for the terrorist who will just hem and haw all day long now and never give our Intel folks what they need.

US interrogator to terrorist, "Now, if I have to torture you I will.... but then I'll have to kill you and feed you to the hogs and dogs."

Kindda like Parris Island in the 60's. The drill instructor slaps you then says, "You know I can't do that don't you?" :rotf:

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948
