Another Day, Another Memo
Daphne Eviatar sorts through the documents released on Friday:
The most recently released memos have not gotten much attention, as
torture fatigue sets in and the Bush torture program becomes old news.
But the FBI memo is important because it adds to the growing body of
evidence that senior defense department and CIA officials deliberately
ignored the opinions of the best trained and most experienced people in
the government about interrogations that abusive interrogations would
not work and were not legal. Add that to the rest of the evidence that
senior Bush administration officials did not act in good faith in relying
on the Office of Legal Counsel memos that justified the techniques the
Defense Department and CIA were using, and this latest declassified
memo adds weight to the argument that something fishy was going on at
the highest ranks of government that demands further investigation.
