President Obama to carry on torturing prisoners

The highly controversial anti-terror practice of rendition will continue under Barack Obama, it has emerged.

Despite ordering the closure of Guantanamo and an end to harsh interrogation techniques, the new president has failed to call an end to secret abductions and questioning.

In his first few days in office, Mr Obama was lauded for rejecting policies of the George W Bush era, but it has emerged the CIA still has the authority to carry out renditions in which suspects are picked up and often sent to a third country for questioning.

The CIA don't question suspects, they torture them!

So much for change!

It is not an anti-terror practice for those innocent people being terrorised by the CIA.

I don't call putting electrodes on the right testicle instead of the left testicle change!

The sooner China deals with America once and for all the better the world will be!
