Dispatches from the Bush Posse #11

Coming Soon: Declassified Bush-era Torture Memos from Newsweek
"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."

"Cheney is nervous about calls for investigations into the Bush adminstration and is going on the offensive."

US Torture: Voices from the Black Sites (Mark Danner) from the New York Review of Books
"The decisions that that president [Bush] made, especially the monumental decisions taken after the attacks of September 11, 2001—decisions about rendition, surveillance, interrogation—lie strewn about us still, unclaimed and unburied, like corpses freshly dead."
