WASHINGTON – A sharply divided federal appeals court on Wednesday dismissed a lawsuit involving the Central Intelligence Agency’s practice of seizing terrorism suspects and transferring them to other countries for imprisonment and interrogation. The ruling handed a major victory to the Obama administration in its effort to advance a sweeping view of executive secrecy power.

Finally a win for the good guys!

This is good news but I can imagine the screaming from this same paper if this ruling had come with a Republican in office.

It sounds good on the surface. I just can’t imagine obammy getting anything right..........especially when it comes to national security.

I hope the Slimes writers and editors are chewing their own tongues reading this.

How's your Trans-racial Pacifist Intellectual Boy-King workin' out for ya there, dimwits?

It makes sense since they consider us “terrorists”.

[Palter]

Lol. Obama loves any decision that allows more Executive states secret privilege.

>The ruling handed a major victory to the Obama administration in its effort to advance...

Uh, excuse me but this was a Bush era finding that was relentlessly attacked tooth & nail by the MSM Ministry of Propaganda when W was doing this very same thing.

[JSteff]

Good thing it is not the Bush admin.... they would be crying about seizing the terrorists an then about transporting them to other countries. And of course Chenney would be accused of get his time to torture them before they went anywhere. Evil Chenney. Evil Bush.

Horse pucky. This whole business was about leftists screaming about the sins of the Bush administration. And Obama was part of the chorus.

Now Mr. Narcissist claims credit, and the NYTimes bows down to him and gives it?

Sure. Just like Obama won the Iraq War last month.

Exactly right. Lets hope his far left base deserts him even further by this ruling and they stay home instead of voting.

I'm waiting for their editorial approving of the Obama Administration's demand to be able to kill American citizens without trial anywhere on Earth myself.

Well, I guess half of FR had better pack up for an unscheduled trip to Madagascar.

Does this mean that all captures must be brought on/into U.S. Custody, Control and Courts by federal agencies?...if the case not good.

[Michael Barnes]

Thanks for the post man...For a second there I was wondering what site I was on..

seizing terrorism suspects and transferring them to other countries for imprisonment and interrogation.

With Burka Hussein in charge I'm sure the terrorists will be vigourously feather tickled for info.

[DoughtyOne]

Something is definitely up with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. This is about the fourth or fifth good ruling it has made in the last three to five months.

This is simply amazing.

[DoughtyOne]

Exactly right.

[Blood of Tyrants]

But Obastard is rapidly packing the courts wilt people who hate America as much as he does.
