JIM HENLEY ON THE "TORTURE MEMO"
Via this comment by Bob McManus at Crooked Timber, a post by Jim Henley which goes to the heart of the issues raised by the already-infamous "torture memo." McManus has one meaty quote. Here's another:
"The issue now goes beyond torture to the very structure of American government. Torture is the symptom. The concept that the President is not just himself above the law, but a supralegal authority, is the malady."
