Trump Considering Reviving George W. Bush-Era CIA Black Sites
-------------------------------------------------------------

Trump is also considering using executive action to reinstate the secret
CIA black sites used during the George W. Bush administration. The black
sites were part of a highly classified program in which suspects
captured abroad were interrogated, and sometimes tortured, at secret
sites around the world. It was widely condemned by legal and human
rights experts, as well as much of the world community. President Obama
ordered all of the black sites to be closed at the beginning of his
presidency.
