CIA Torture Memos Released...And They're Disgraceful

Instead of diving into this much myself, I'll just send you over to Glenn Greenwald for his analysis of what happened today. You should really scroll down on his site and read some excerpts from these Bush-era memos.

Here's just one part, written by Stephen Bradbury, "deputy assistant attorney general":

Each year, the United States condemns coercive interrogation techniques and other practices employed by other countries. Certain of the techniques the United States has condemned appear to bear some resemblance to some of the CIA interrogation techniques.

Unbelievable. This didn't strike anyone at the CIA as a little bit hypocritical? Or unjust?

Now go read Glenn's post.

Edit: Thank you, Andrew Sullivan. I had noticed the same thing:

For the record:

No mention of the torture memos appears right now on the Drudge Report (which provides news of a prank at Dominos pizza), Instapundit (which mentions the new DVD for the Lord of The Rings trilogy), Pajamas Media, or Michelle Malkin. They are reacting to the evidence of war crimes committed by the president of the United States the way they did at the time the crimes were committed.
