Looks like Obama has taken even more behind the scenes shortcuts regarding torture and holding terrorists. The Bush administration was hammered for sending detained terrorists to other countries to be detained and tortured (also called renditions). Turns out that Obama is actually going to INCREASE that policy.

So yeah, he's shutting down Gitmo, but he's also effectively increasing the amount of torture on the detainees. They'll be more poorly treated in other countries, but at least the blood's not on our hands, right? It'll be interesting to see if the same liberals that decried this tactic will blast Obama for increasing the use of this policy rather than reducing it.
