What’s up with this “harsh interrogations” crap anyway? Is being “harsh” with a murdering Islamofascist terrorist now against the Geneva/Hague conventions too?
Discreditied by whom? The terrorists? The French? Code Pink? When the next attack comes... and with the restrictions upon those who protect us going up every day they will, we'll see if the American people really want to make smores and sing Cum-bye-ya with terrorists or kick their asses.
If Obama is closing down Guantanamo, rendition flights of the prisoners can’t be far behind. Those animals are not wanted in the U.S. or Europe.
So where will they end up? China, in Woo’s pig pen? (HBO Deadwood reference)
Or does it just mean that he will probe "Obama's Crimes" alongside the "Bush Crimes"?
That make it official, where’s my Code Pink “ARREST OBAMA” shirt?
In any case, if I read it correctly, he just gave a one-year extention to both Guantanamo and the supposed secret CIA prisons. Now he’s signed off on renditions.
I want to agree with some others. Everything the CIA does should be secret. It would be secret now, except that CIA was doing everything it could to soil Bush’s nest. It is noteworthy that almost everything that they exposed in an effort to hurt Bush will now continue under Obama.
I’d prefer that Obama have kept going and repudiated renditions.
Both torture and torture by proxies help lose the “war” for us.
My guess is the reason the Left isn’t screaming about this is that they probably don’t know about it.
Not crazy about your typography. Hard to read.
A rendition of hope.
Also remember that rendition was first practiced in Slick Willie’s administration.
"Under limited circumstances, there is a legitimate place" for renditions, said Tom Malinowski, the Washington advocacy director for Human Rights Watch.
What incredible hypocrites. Also no mention that rendition was begun under Clinton while Leon Panetta looked on.
