As President Obama discards some of the counter-terrorism tools used under George W. Bush, he is retaining the CIA's use of rendition, the practice of secret abduction and transfer of prisoners to countries that cooperate with the United States. However, his stated policy looks to be a scaling back of the extreme practices used under George W. Bush to the methods used by previous administrations. Human rights groups have stated their support for Obama's stance. Larry Mantle discusses the role of rendition in combating terrorism. Guests include Greg Miller of the Los Angeles Times, and Allen Weiner of Stanford University.
