Torture memo released under FOIA

A major 2003 memo by former Deputy Assistant Attorney General John Yoo on interrogation techniques was released under FOIA on Tuesday. The general content and effect of this memo have been known for several years, but this is the first time the document itself has been released. Glenn Greenwald's blog has a good discussion of the controversial memo, and asks how it is possible that the document's author is now a professor at Berkeley: "That John Yoo is a full professor at one of the country's most prestigious law schools, and a welcomed expert on our newspaper's Op-Ed pages and television news programs, speaks volumes about what our country has become."
