Bush-Cheney torture memos to be released by Holder

"Over objections from the U.S. intelligence community, the White House is moving to declassify—and publicly release—three internal memos that will lay out, for the first time, details of the "enhanced" interrogation techniques approved by the Bush administration for use against "high value" Qaeda detainees. The memos, written by Justice Department lawyers in May 2005, provide the legal rationale for waterboarding, head slapping and other rough tactics used by the CIA. One senior Obama official, who like others interviewed for this story requested anonymity because of the issue's sensitivity, said the memos were "ugly" and could embarrass the CIA. Other officials predicted they would fuel demands for a "truth commission" on torture."



This is going to be good.

1. Good. The CIA deserves to be embarrassed.

2. You are absolutely right they have been getting away with

immoral crap for way too long.

10. They deserve much worse than embarassment, many of them deserve prison.

4. I'd also like to see the reports of the specifics of torture used in places

like Abu Ghraib against innocent men, women, and children. Nationalistic arguments will always be made, with some success among the Fox Noise crowd, about the necessity of mistreatment and torture by the CIA. The American people need to know the truth, with nothing held back, about the torture that was perpetrated on innocent Iraqis because they were in the wrong lace at the wrong time.

7. Head slapping?

After what happened to Natasha Richardson last week, I think we all have a pretty good idea what can happen to you if your head gets knocked around too hard.

I hope these memos will be the final straw for people, who will demand Bush/Cheney are investigated. Americans are pretty outraged at what we're seeing now, so it shouldn't take much to put people over the top.

This should be good.

9. Good. Now, Mr. Holder, after releasing the memos, don't wait for

a truth commission. PROSECUTE THE BASTARDS!!

11. This is what I have been waiting for

I am glad to see this happening. I don't really have any sympathy for the CIA. They should be embarassed by what they did.
