In case you missed it yesterday, Jordan's King Abdullah appeared on Meet the Press where he accused the United States of engaging in torture and praised Barack Obama for the transparency with which his administration was dealing with Bush-era interrogation techniques. Gregory, to his credit, notes that Jordan doesn't just torture its own dissidents, but also warehoused U.S. detainees as part of the rendition program. That program began under President Clinton and continues under President Obama. Which is to say, while Obama invites criticism of U.S. policy from the leaders of countries that engage in real torture, he will also continue to ship terrorism suspects to those same countries for further interrogation and detention. Leon Panetta, who was involved in the Clinton-era formulation of rendition policy and will oversee those same efforts for the Obama administration, told Congress that he "will seek...assurances that [detainees] will not be treated inhumanely." And as King Abdullah just assured us, Jordan does not engage in torture. Problem solved.
