It seems as though right wing pundits and some of the more vocal supporters of the CIA feel that Obama left the language in the orders vague on purpose to give the CIA some wiggle room, while others feel that it is a matter of the CIA finding what it hopes to find (permission to continue with renditions) - wishful thinking basically.
I think we'll hear more about this.
