No. The story is poorly written, weakly sourced and full of hedging phrases which appear designed to confuse. The fudging of facts is rampant. For example "extraordinary rendition is defined as " a tactic of capturing militant suspects". a phrase containg no concrete information. Or Obama is said to have stated "early on" that he was closing the "foreign detention network. When did Obama say this? And what are some examples of the Foreign Detention Centers?
