CIA prisoner 'rendition' program began under Clinton: ex-agent
BERLIN (AFP) -
The CIA's controversial "rendition" program to have terror suspects captured and questioned on foreign soil was launched under US president
Bill Clinton, a former US counterterrorism agent told a German newspaper.
Michael Scheuer, a 22-year veteran of the CIA who resigned from the agency in 2004, told Thursday's issue of the newsweekly Die Zeit that the US administration had been looking in the mid-1990s for a way to combat the terrorist threat and circumvent the cumbersome US legal system.
