Good for the President. He released them but redacted the names of our CIA and other officials... I must say that the legal reasoning in these memos should lead to disbarment. These guys were hacks and were used by Bush/Cheney to give them cover for their illegal acts.

They should then release the information gained during these "torturings" and we will really see if people are so for/against it.

They should also release the names of the members of Congress that were briefed on everything.

From what I understand, prisoners are STILL being tortured under the Obama Adminstration. Maybe we need to see those papers as well....Hmmm. Fat chance.

BTW, Spain is bringing war crimes charges against members of the Bush administration. They might want to reconsider any European vacations

Perhaps you should start locally first with the corrupt politicians in your area. Torture would be a good tool to use on a Chicago politician if you ask me.

And that is a relative term. How do you know how many lives were saved by torturing a murderer to get info on the next attack?
