TORTURE: Well, we're getting closer to understanding what's been going on. 
Here's a nugget from Newsweek: 
> White House officials told reporters that such abstract legal reasoning was 
> insignificant and did not reflect the president's orders. But NEWSWEEK has 
> learned that Yoo's August 2002 memo was prompted by CIA questions about what 
> to do with a top Qaeda captive, Abu Zubaydah, who had turned uncooperative. 
> And it was drafted after White House meetings convened by George W. Bush's 
> chief counsel, Alberto Gonzales, along with Defense Department general counsel 
> William Haynes and David Addington, Vice President Dick Cheney's counsel, who 
> discussed specific interrogation techniques, says a source familiar with the 
> discussions. Among the methods they found acceptable: "water-boarding," or 
> dripping water into a wet cloth over a suspect's face, which can feel like 
> drowning; and threatening to bring in more-brutal interrogators from other 
> nations.
This kind of tactic was designed specifically for a few top al Qaeda 
captives; but it was apparently transferred to Abu Ghraib as well.
