More Secret Memos to Come?

---The memo was highly controversial within DOJ. [WH Office of Legal Council’s Jack] Goldsmith disavowed it a mere nine months after its release. He later wrote in his book The Terror Presidency that he was stunned by the "one-sided legal arguments" and "unusual lack of care and sobriety" in both of the torture memos, which he said seemed "more an exercise of sheer power than reasoned analysis."

---The memo alludes to other secret memos. You will certainly hear protest from Senate Democrats that those memos have not been released--including in the hearing this week with AG Mukasey.

---And you will hear outrage from civil liberties groups about a toothless and complacent Congress that for years has known about these secret memos--and done little to get them from the WH.

Yes, civil liberties groups, however, are looked upon as terrorist allies in this country after "9/11 changed everything."


....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
