Memo

June 8, 2004 -- Attorney General John Ashcroft refuses senators' demands for copies of a departmental memo that reportedly states the president has the right to order torture in his role as commander in chief. In denying to discuss the report's contents, Ashcroft said his department's advice to the president must remain confidential.
Washington Post reporter Dana Priest first obtained the 2003 classified memo, which details legal counsel for the Bush administration on interrogating al Qaeda detainees.
I can see why the administration was soooo suprised when the first alegations of torture came up.
Are the laws for the other guy. As my rights dwindle, the government does as it pleases.
A man who gives up his freedom for security deserves neither.
More lies and deceit? Hard to believe.😕
When news of the prisoner abuses at Abu Ghraib first reached Congress this spring, members were incensed that the Pentagon had not informed them earlier. They had been given the internal Army report and told it was complete, but Senate staffers have discovered as many as 2,000 pages of supporting documents could not be found, and are still missing.

A man who fails to identify the enemy is a fool.
