"President Obama has approved the creation of a specialized interrogation unit that would focus on key terror suspects, the White House confirmed Monday.

Deputy Obama press secretary Bill Burton told reporters that even though the new unit will be supervised by the White House, that does not mean the CIA is out of the interrogation business.

Burton, who is stationed in Martha's Vineyard while the first family is on vacation, said the new unit would include "all these different elements under one group," and that it will be situated at the FBI headquarters in Washington.

FOX News had earlier confirmed that the new unit would be created, and that it would report to the White House-based National Security Council.

Though such work typically falls to the CIA, one senior U.S. official told FOX News that the CIA did not want to house the new initiative.

According to The Washington Post, the new unit would be named the High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group and would be composed of experts in this field from the law enforcement and intelligence community. Obama was said to have approved creation of the unit late last week.

The unit's structure would depart significantly from such work under the Bush administration, when the CIA had the lead and sometimes exclusive role in questioning Al Qaeda suspects."

Looks like the Obama administration is attempting to divert attention from Healthcare Reform.   By trying to "change the topic", they are hoping the public will have their attention drawn away from the super important issue of Healthcare and the changes that they are attempting to push through.
