Obama revoked Bush's policy of enhanced interrogation (torture) by Executive Order, which carries the force of law.
And while he didnt end rendition, he did put additional policies in place to end the practices of the previous administration. As far as I know, there has not been an extraordinary rendition to a country that tortures its own citizens since he took office, unlike the 10-15 that occurred under the Bush administration.
So, no, US policies and practices regarding torture are not at all like Syria.
