KT: I think you are being slight obfuscatory here. We don’t have blacksites, once someone’s in US custody, they are ours and treated accordingly.


I wouldn’t bet on that. We’ve been runing black sites and secret prisons for a very long time and I don’t think the practice has suddenly vanished under Obama. The NSA and other agencies have a lot of leeway and I don’t think Obama could personally stop the practice even if he wanted to.
