    WASHINGTON — The United States is now relying heavily on foreign intelligence services to capture, interrogate and detain all but the highest-level terrorist suspects seized outside the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, according to current and former American government officials.

    The change represents a significant loosening of the reins for the United States, which has worked closely with allies to combat violent extremism since the 9/11 attacks but is now pushing that cooperation to new limits.

      I think that the operative words in this statement are "outside the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan". These are places that we have no jurisdiction. We can't just go into other countries legally and capture citizens. How long would we tolerate other countries doing that here? Not to mention if the persons in question are wanted in the country for crimes committed there it's not too likely that they will be released to our custody.

        Yes. I know you love to attack Obama and ignore history and I'm sorry to ruin your little circle jerk, but Bush outsourced torture and interrogation to outside foreign intelligence services as well. All the time. Try reading.

          Notice, there is no torture used per Pinetta, unlike the previous administration. Some more PC25 slander and distortoion from the unreliable hotair!!!
