Obama lets CIA keep controversial renditions tool

Under executive orders issued by Obama last week, the CIA still has authority to carry out what are known as renditions, or the secret abductions and transfers of prisoners to countries that cooperate with the U.S.

Current and former U.S. intelligence officials said the rendition program is poised to play an expanded role because it is the main remaining mechanism—aside from Predator missile strikes—for taking suspected terrorists off the street.

Now, if it were Bush doing this we would have all the War criminal Bush at it again, but when Obama does it, nothing??????


Mind you, I am not necessarly disagreeing with this, just pointing out how the same thing done by Bush was wrong and yet the same thing by Obama is ok, no complaints.
