Like Pres Clinton, Pres BO will send more and more terrorists to "rendition prisons" in other countries.
"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. "
No kidding.
Where would you rather be? GITMO or Egypt?
There is more:
"How the United States is dealing with terrorism suspects beyond those already in the prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, was a question Mr. Obama did not address in the speech he gave Thursday about his antiterrorism policies."
Wonder why he didn't?
Pres BO does not want to confirm that he will keep the Clinton-Bush jails overseas.
It may be too much for the "yes we can" screamers to learn that their guy is a first class hypocrite.
Wonder how much "terrorist recruiting" comes from Pres BO's rendition prisons? We never hear about that....do we?
Don't get me wrong.
I like rendition prisons. I supported Pres. Clinton's rendition prisons.
Why? Because I want to kill terrorists. I want to make their lives miserable. I want to get information from them.
Bottom line: I understand the threat. I understand that we must stop people who want to blow up a US city.
This is not a game. We are not in an argument with with poets and songwriters.
Therefore, I'm OK with Pres BO relying on rendition prisons.
I just don't like hypocrisy!
We are seeing a lot of hypocrisy and selective indignation from this White House.
P.S. On national security and prisons, someone at The White House should listen to Newt Gingrich discuss the threats that we face:
