Trump poised to lift ban on CIA 'Black Site' prisons

The Trump administration is preparing a sweeping executive order that would clear the way for the CIA to reopen overseas "black site" prisons, like those where it detained and tortured terrorism suspects before former President Barack Obama shut them down.

President Donald Trump's three-page draft order, titled "Detention and Interrogation of Enemy Combatants" and obtained by The New York Times, would also undo many of the other restrictions on handling detainees that Obama put in place in response to policies of the George W. Bush administration.
