President Obama on Thursday will order the closure of so-called black sites, where CIA and European security services have interrogated terrorist suspects, under executive orders dismantling much of the Bush admistration's architecture for the war on terror, according to four individuals familiar with a draft executive order.
Mr. Obama will shutter "all permanant detention facilities overseas," the draft said, according to the individuals who asked not to be named because the orders have not yet been signed. There are at least eight such prisons, according to published reports. The Bush administration never revealed the number or location of the facilities, although several were said to be in Eastern Europe.
The individuals said there will be three executive orders. One will order the black sites closed and require all interrogations of detainees across the entire U.S. intelligence community to adhere to the U.S. Army Field Manual. The manual specifies a range of interrogation techniques that are not considered torture.

what a friggin idiot. Americans should mass protest but hey its only our lives.
Remember that the next time conservatives take their eyes off the ball and squabble amongst themselves while looking for "RINO's" under every pebble in the land. Remember...you cannot win elections without building a winning coalition. Remember...you cannot ever expect to get 100% of what you want in any aspect of life. Remember...the Left embraced incrementalism over 100 years ago, and they have been extremely successful at it. Remember...circular firing squads only kill you and your friends, never your enemies. Remember.

I'm volunteering to host Slutskaya here for as long as she wants. She only asks for 20,000 USD Money Order for transportation and documentation expense. (:^*)
Actually, I figured out what BaCrack is doing. See, he doesn’t like the tone of BLACK SITES. So, while he will close them, he will reopen then under the name of CRACKER SITES.
This is a good idea because our enemies always follow the Geneva convention when they take prisoners...
Oh, yeah, they murder our POWs and get away with it. They murder civilians, burn their bodies and hang them from bridges. They videotape the beheadings of captive civilians.
I feel so much better because the US won’t do all those nasty things to find out what the terrorists plan to do.
No way is it stupidity.
But..but...but...we really showed those RINOs!
Best comment of the thread! The MSM will GUARANTEE that.
So, what we need to do next is forget about looking for Conservatives and just vote for whoever the Repubs tell us to vote for. Here's an idea. How about Lindsey Graham next time. Yea, that's the ticket. And, he can pick, oh, say, Jindal to pacify me so I'll forget how he screwed me and the rest of the conservative base for the last 25 years or so!
Maybe I misunderstood your post or something. In case i didn't, that is the stupidest thing I've read by a “none troll” since I've been here.
The SCOTUS, and all the lower gov’t officials that have protected him and let the Constitution fall by the wayside, will bear the burden of guilt if the usurper causes us to be attacked again. What enemy fears us as of noon yesterday? We are a big target zone. I will count the days until this occupation of our White House ends. He will fail miserably as “president”. Unfortunately we will all suffer the consequences of his failure.
He’s wasting no time, is he? Well, one result of this action will be this: future attacks will fall clearly on his shoulders.
Hey 0bama... Contrary to what you believe, and what your sycophants in the media say, you were NOT elected Emperor of the World. You may be able to tell the CIA what to do, but I don't think that the 'European Security Services' that care about trying to keep their countries safe from your Muslim Terrorist friends are going to worry too much about your Executive Order.
I fear McCain would be doing all the same things... they are marching to another drummer than the one of keeping the US intact and safe.
DOPE-bama.

I have felt that wave of nauseau on almost every thread so far.
I hope theres a backlash on this. Because what I saw on the FOX news recap poll on how Obama is doing. Just about 75% approve. It tells me that we are one of the very few last man standing when it comes to politics. I usually challenge the people over at the ABCNews comment board for just making attempts to convince them.
I fear that day. He will be jimmah carter all over again if that happens.
