2. FACT: Extraordinary rendition began under the Clinton regime.
Covert extraordinary rendition began as a systematic tactic on September 22, 1995, with the capture of terrorist Abu Talal al-Qasimi in Croatia; he was later transferred to Egypt for execution. The largest pre-9/11 CIA rendition occurred in 1998, when five suspects in Albania and Bulgaria were captured and rendered to Egypt. Two were hanged without trial; all were brutally tortured.
Renditions after 9/11 were different, however. The numbers expanded dramatically, each rendition no longer required presidential approval, and it was no longer a requirement that a prisoner be 'wanted' for some offense in the country where he was sent.

IN 1993, Bill Clinton was pondering whether to authorise what is now called an “extraordinary rendition”, when American agents snatch a suspected terrorist abroad and deliver him to interrogators in a third country. The White House counsel warned that this would be illegal. President Clinton was in two minds until Al Gore walked in, laughed and said: “That's a no-brainer. Of course it's a violation of international law, that's why it's a covert action. The guy is a terrorist. Go grab his ass.”

The Senate Intelligence Committee’s report on the enhanced interrogation techniques used against terrorists following the September 11 attacks in 2001 — the so-called “torture report” — is expected to be released on Tuesday, and it will have serious effects on American security, says Charles Krauthammer.
“What intelligence service abroad is going to help us when they are going to be exposed and pilloried around the world?” Krauthammer asked. “We’re going to lose all [of our human intelligence]. We’re not going to have any allies around the world. And because we have so little human intelligence, as a result of a drone program that kills our enemy and never captures him — nobody’s gone to Guantanamo in the six years of the Obama administration — we rely on the eyes or ears of other allies.”
Krauthammer concluded: “Who are going to help us after this? Nobody.”

This ranks right up there with the dumbest things The Fraud has done. There is no reason to release the information other than to damage the US.
The man is a fucking traitor.

And all that crap he did to restore the economy was just a smokescreen.

They're broadcasting "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town" at the same time, too, the bastards.
