From the article: The Torture Memos and Accountability
Making good on his promise not only to turn the page on the Bush administration's regime of secrecy and torture, but to publish those pages, too, Barack Obama made public a series of so-called torture memos the Bush administration's lawyers wrote to give the CIA and other operatives legal cover when brutalizing and torturing prisoners in the "war on terror."
The memos reveal, in graphic details, a systematic method of brutal "questioning" techniques that Bush called "enhanced interrogation," but that more reasonable, less euphemistic assessments would rate as torture. Was Obama right? Should he stop there?
