Thread Name: BS: Obama and torture
Subject: RE: BS: Obama and torture
It is very true that President Obama hasn't specifically banned "special rendition". He also hasn't specifically banned sodomy involving sheep. He signed an Executive Order on Interrogation and Detention policy January 22nd that requires that all interrogations of detainees in armed conflict, by any government agency, follow the Army Field Manual interrogation guidelines. It also establishes a "task force" to look at rendition and other policies for transferring individuals to third countries to be sure that our policies and practices comply with all obligations and are sufficient to ensure that individuals do not face torture and cruel treatment if transferred.

Can you provide any information to indicate that any indiviual has been subject to "special rendition" since he took office?
