CIA pressed on torture guidelines - World - smh.com.au
- First we had the Downing Street Memo exposing the lies used by the Bush Adminstration to invent facts to justify the foregone conclusion that invading Iraq was necessary. Now, we have the Whitehouse Memos--signed by Bush himself--authorizing extraordinary rendition and, perhaps, torture to be carried out by the CIA. - icanrel8 on 2006-11-15

THE CIA has acknowledged for the first time the existence of two
classified documents, including one signed by the US President,
George Bush, that it used as guidelines in the interrogation and
imprisonment of terrorist suspects.The CIA referred to the documents in a letter sent to American
Civil Liberties Union lawyers by the agency's associate general
counsel, John McPherson,The contents of the documents were not revealed, but one of them
is "a directive signed by President Bush granting the CIA the
authority to set up detention facilities outside the US and
outlining interrogation methods that may be used against
detainees", the rights group said.The union says that the second document is a Justice Department
legal analysis "specifying interrogation methods that the CIA may
use against top al-Qaeda members".The directive from Mr Bush is thought to have been issued soon
after the attacks of September 11, 2001, and the Justice Department
memo about a year later.Jameel Jaffer, one of the union's lawyers, said they intended to
press for release of both of these documents.
