Page "Nat Hentoff" Paragraph 13

An ardent critic of the Bush administration's expansion of presidential power, Hentoff in 2008 called for the new president to deal with the " noxious residue of the Bush-Cheney war against terrorism.

" Among the national security casualties have been, according to Hentoff, " survivors, if they can be found, of CIA secret prisons (" black sites "); victims of CIA kidnapping renditions ; and American citizens locked up indefinitely as " unlawful enemy combatants.

" He has advocated prosecuting members of the Bush administration, including lawyer John Yoo, for war crimes.
