.."wouldn't happen to be the same allies the NTY exposed while secretly dealing with prisoners in the past would it?"

The United States is now relying heavily on foreign intelligence services to capture, interrogate and detain all but the highest-level terrorist suspects seized outside the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, according to current and former American government officials.
The change represents a significant loosening of the reins for the United States, which has worked closely with allies to combat violent extremism since the 9/11 attacks but is now pushing that cooperation to new limits.
In the past 10 months, for example, about a half-dozen midlevel financiers and logistics experts working with Al Qaeda have been captured and are being held by intelligence services in four Middle Eastern countries after the United States provided information that led to their arrests by local security services, a former American counterterrorism official said.
In addition, Pakistan’s intelligence and security services captured a Saudi suspect and a Yemeni suspect this year with the help of American intelligence and logistical support, Pakistani officials said. The two are the highest-ranking Qaeda operatives captured since President Obama took office, but they are still being held by Pakistan, which has shared information from their interrogations with the United States, the official said.
The current approach, which began in the last two years of the Bush administration and has gained momentum under Mr. Obama, is driven in part by court rulings and policy changes that have closed the secret prisons run by the Central Intelligence Agency, and all but ended the transfer of prisoners from outside Iraq and Afghanistan to American military prisons.
Human rights advocates say that relying on foreign governments to hold and question terrorist suspects could carry significant risks. It could increase the potential for abuse at the hands of foreign interrogators and could also yield bad intelligence, they say.

Farm out the dirty work....typical Democrat....perhaps the much more extreme torture methods that they will see will work.
Does this sound like “rendition”?

Rendition (i.e.: extraordinary and irregular) ping?
“CIA “rendition” program started under Clinton”
“The AFP is reporting that the CIA’s “rendition” program was started under the Clinton Administration.”

Could there possibly be a more hypocritical SOB than that arrogant ba#tard?!?!
The funny thing about liberals, it is not a big issue unless it is on the Front Page of the New York Times. The torture can be 100 times worse, but liberals don’t care. If you can’t blame the GOP, it is not an issue.
Would someone please tell me how the NY times gets all this supposed secret plans. They are an enemy of this country and do not have our not acting in our best interests.
Some of our allies consider you guilty until proven innocent, and their prisons are a thousand times worse than gitmo.
It sure did. Sent them to Egypt for interrogation.
We’re sub-contracting the interrogations?
To whom, the Spaniards?
Some would consider this outsourcing, one really loves these people. I just hope the fecal material never hits the fan with them in charge.
