So that's alright then...

Though I note that under Clinton, prisoners were kept in local prisons, while under Bush, the CIA created their own.

For those who don't know, the practice of renditions began under the Clinton Administration. Never trust a saxophone player. -EY


CIA renditions began under Clinton: agent

The US Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) controversial "rendition" program was launched under US president Bill Clinton, a former US counter-terrorism agent has told a German newspaper.

Michael Scheuer, a 22-year veteran of the CIA who resigned from the agency in 2004, has told Die Zeit that the US administration had been looking in the mid-1990s for a way to combat the terrorist threat and circumvent the cumbersome US legal system.
