In a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations on September 7, 2007, CIA Director Michael Hayden discussed the Agency’s rendition and enhanced interrogation programs: ” ‘Fewer than 100 people had been detained at CIA’s facilities. And I mentioned renditions, the number of renditions…apart from that 100 that we’ve detained, the number of renditions is actually even a smaller number, mid-range two figures. These programs are targeted and they are selective. They were designed only for the most dangerous terrorists and those believed to have the most valuable information, such as knowledge of planned attacks…’ “
