More of the Same, Part 2
A few days ago I wrote about how the Obama Administration is defending of surveillance practices it inherited from the Bush Administration. But it's not just spying that apparently will remain the same. The much maligned practice of extra-ordinary rendition (the prisoner transfer program the involves kidnapping suspect terrorists and moving them to countries that have a . . . well . . . different view of torture than most western countries) apparently will also remain the government's anti-terrorism arsenal. The Los Angeles Times has more.
