Why no declassification of Clinton's "Extraordinary Renditions"?

According to Clinton administration official Richard Clarke:

“'extraordinary renditions', were operations to apprehend terrorists abroad, usually without the knowledge of and almost always without public acknowledgment of the host government…. The first time I proposed a snatch, in 1993, the White House Counsel, Lloyd Cutler, demanded a meeting with the President to explain how it violated international law. Clinton had seemed to be siding with Cutler until Al Gore belatedly joined the meeting, having just flown overnight from South Africa. Clinton recapped the arguments on both sides for Gore: "Lloyd says this. Dick says that. Gore laughed and said, 'That's a no-brainer. Of course it's a violation of international law, that's why it's a covert action. The guy is a terrorist. Go grab his ass.'"

Hoorah for Gore. But why are these details not public?

The answer, of course, is that a Clinton is on the payroll.

It finally becomes clear why Obama hired Clinton. It is one way to shut up her old man. A double-edged sword, however -- since releasing the details of these renditions would implicate the Ds.

These people are using propaganda to keep the useful idiots at bay.
