WASHINGTON – President-elect Barack Obama is preparing to prohibit the use of waterboarding and harsh interrogation techniques by ordering the CIA to follow military rules for questioning prisoners, according to two U.S. officials familiar with drafts of the plans.
The proposal Obama is considering would require all CIA interrogators to follow conduct outlined in the U.S. Army Field Manual, the officials said. The plans would also have the effect of shutting down secret "black site" prisons around the world where the CIA has questioned terror suspects — with all future interrogations taking place inside American military facilities.
However, Obama's changes may not be absolute. His advisers are considering adding a classified loophole to the rules that could allow the CIA to use some interrogation methods not specifically authorized by the Pentagon, the officials said.
The new rules would abandon a part of President George W. Bush's counterterrorism policy that has been condemned internationally.

It's not. Just like Gitmo won't close; just like warrant-less wiretapping won't stop; just like the troops won't be leaving Irag or Afghanistan anytime soon. When Barry said "Just words, just speeches" - he really meant it.
Barack Obama seriously wants to eliminate interrogations for everybody but all non-leftists.
Well they actually elected people who are more concerned about the terrorists. Brilliant.
I was going to say by Easter, if not sooner. I hope I’m wrong.
We can hope he’ll send the terrorists to Kenya, where his friends and relatives can terrorize the terrorists to get info?
Ximinez [with a cruel leer]: Now -- you will stay in the Comfy Chair until lunch time, with only a cup of coffee at eleven. [aside, to Biggles] Is that really all it is?
Biggles: Yes, lord.
Ximinez: I see. I suppose we make it worse by shouting a lot, do we? Confess, woman. Confess! Confess! Confess! Confess!
Biggles: I confess! Ximinez: Not you!

And God forbid, American blood will be on his hands.
Gibbons has a great quote in Decline and Fall (paraphrasing from memory):
The actions of a weak and distracted government will take on the same appearance and character as if the ministers were agents of the foreign enemy.
Alqueda’s chomping at the bit!!
WE’RE ASKING FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Asking for it, while bent over grasping our ankles. If it has to happen, I only hope that some of these liberal loons also are hit hard by whatever tactic is employed.
So how is this any different than current policy?
It will satisfy the lefty cooks he’s beholden to.
IOW it will be interrogations as usual.
O'Bama's declaration is a touchy feely piece to satisfy the masses. Merely words.
He is lying again, and you can be sure the press will cover for him
Exactly..... “America’s aggressive posture” Gotta love it, nearly 3000 American Citizens that did nothing more then go to work died on 911. Their Deaths produced by 19 men that believed in an ideology of hate so grand that they would kill themselves in order to inflict the most damage possible against their enemy. How does Obama rationalize that?
Obama says we all need to have skin in the game.. and “Do unto others...”... Obama has never once did anything that wasn’t good for Obama.... LOL... we are in for one heck of a ride.... So as Obama makes all this grand change to the “Bad” Bush policies that make us so weak in the world, what possibly can he say to the American People after the Next terror attack on our soil?
How do you appease an enemy that doesn’t want what you have, but only wants you dead?
