Why is the Obama administration continuing rendition?

[MISSDem]

I am unhappy about this not to mention the ongoing WARS!!! Do they expect us to believe that there will be no torture?
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration will continue the Bush administration’s practice of sending terror suspects to third countries for detention and interrogation, but will monitor their treatment to ensure they are not tortured, administration officials said on Monday.

1. you're confusing renditions with "extraordinary rendition"

you did know the difference, right?

[dolphindance]

2. I'm all for making these bastards uncomfortable if they wish to harm America.

Short of torture, of course. If it takes flying them off to nowhere to accomplish this, I don't see a problem with it.

Protecting this country is not for faint at heart.

6. protecting torture again, and islamaphobia again.

gee, this is getting to be very revealing.

[Warpy]

3. Same reason Clinton did

the bastards in the military, CIA, and NSC demand it.

4. He has not been told he can not do it.

Presidents will assert whatever power they are allowed.

Unless the Congress outlaws rendition, Presidents will use them.

5. Because

extradition is so passe......
