PROPELLING the United States rapidly away from the Bush era, President Barack Obama yesterday banned torture and closed the CIA's infamous "Black Site" prison network, the secret locations used to interrogate terror suspects

The orders will also mean the end of so-called extraordinary-rendition flights, in which the CIA transported hundreds of bound-and-gagged suspects around the world, using airports including Prestwick for refuelling, so the detainees could be interrogated in "friendly" states that permit torture.
