Kevin Drum: Which lawmakers knew about the secret extreme torture approval?
http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2007_10/012181.php

(snip)

The Times says that "most lawmakers" didn't know about this secret opinion. That means that some of them did. I'd like to know which ones. I'd also like to hear each of the Democratic candidates tell us whether or not they promise to repudiate all secret Bush administration memorandums on torture and detention during their first day in office. Quickly, please.

2. Obama's come out fast and hard for repudiation, to his credit.
I saw his statement reported here and I find nothing to criticize in it at all:
