Obama to allow anti-terror rendition to continue

From telegraph.co.uk:

According to a detailed reading of the executive orders signed by Mr Obama on Jan 22, renditions have not been outlawed, with the new administration deciding it needs to retain some devices in Mr Bush's anti-terror arsenal amid continued threats to US national security.

"Obviously you need to preserve some tools – you still have to go after the bad guys," an administration official told the Los Angeles Times.

"The legal advisers working on this looked at rendition. It is controversial in some circles and kicked up a big storm in Europe. But if done within certain parameters, it is an acceptable practice." [read more]

So, it's not okay for the U.S. to waterboard (the new Attorney General says that) but it is okay for other countries to do it? Rendition was started in the Clinton administration to allow other countries to interrogate suspected terrorists. When those other countries interrogate those people sent to them they do not have to abide by our parameters and don't have the ACLU to worry about. Being waterboarded is the method anybody sent to those countries has least to worry about. If I was a terrorist in Gitmo I would rather be there than sent overseas to a place that hardly has any rules about torture.
