==Rendition good, journalists bad==
CIA chief [[Michael Hayden]] is worried about journalists reporting on his agency's use of kidnap and torture: "Revelations of sources and methods--and an impulse to drag anything CIA does to [[the darkest corner of the room]]--can make it very difficult for us to do our vital work... In a war that largely depends on our success in collecting intelligence on the enemy, publishing information on our sources and methods can be just as damaging as revelations of troop or ship movements were in the past."[http://sev.prnewswire.com/aerospace-defense/20070907/DC0261007092007-1.html]
And there's really no need for journalists to take an interest, because renditions are invariably "...conducted lawfully, responsibly, and with a clear and simple purpose: to get terrorists off the streets and gain intelligence on those still at large."[http://sev.prnewswire.com/aerospace-defense/20070907/DC0261007092007-1.html]
