Obama curtails CIA powers to interrogate
Tuesday, August 25, 2009
WASHINGTON, Aug 24: President Barack Obama has approved creation of a new, special terrorism-era interrogation unit to be supervised by the White House, a top aide said on Monday, further distancing his administration from President George W. Bush’s detainee policies.
The administration has also decided that all US interrogators will follow the rules for detainees laid out by the US Army Field Manual, according to senior administration officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to discuss the decision. That decision aims to end years of fierce debate over how rough US personnel can get with terror suspects in custody.
