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

HeadlineJan 25, 2017

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.
