POPSReport: Bush program extended beyond wiretapping The report also questions the legal advice used by President Bush to set up the program, pinpointing omissions and questionable legal memos written by Yoo at the Justice Department. The report suggests Yoo ignored an explicit provision in the FISA law designed to restrict the government's authority to conduct electronic surveillance during wartime. And it said flaws in Yoo's memos later presented "a serious impediment" to recertifying the program.

POPSLawsuit Against Torture Moves Forward
The lawsuit is against the lawyer in the Bush White House who wrote legal opinions justifying torture. The lawsuit is filed by a victim of torture, a U.S. native-born citizen who was held in prison, in indefinite detention for three years and tortured during that time. This is how the "system," is suppose to work. Torture is a crime. It's supposed to be handled in courts. This is very good to see - although I'd add a caution against utopian idealism. People have been hurt here. Core principles of our justice systems betrayed and broken. Hundreds of thousands killed by a war started with deliberately fabricated lies; it's not like they're is a cure-all, instant 'happy ending.' It's like if you're caught in an avalanche. People die in avalanches. Or bones get broken and lives crippled. Homes get destroyed, etc. Later a team will probably arrive to clear the road, clean things up, provide aid for the wounded...but they don't buy you a new home, don't replace your wife or

POPSJudge Allows Civil Lawsuit Over Claims of Torture Mr. Yoo, as part of a senior administrative group called the War Council, helped to shape Bush administration policy in the war on terrorism, and as deputy attorney general in the Office of Legal Counsel from 2001 to 2003, wrote many memorandums authorizing harsh treatment. Mr. Yoo had argued that he should be immune from the suit because it was not clearly established that the treatment would be unconstitutional.

POPSA Health Benefits Law Formed The Basis For The 'Torture Memo'
Jack Goldsmith, who succeeded Bybee at OLC, said that Yoo, a former OLC attorney who now teaches at Chapman University in Orange, Calif., arrived at that definition by relying on statute written in 2000 related to health benefits. "That statute defined an ‘emergency medical condition’ that warranted certain health benefits as a condition ‘manifesting itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain)’ such that the absence of immediate medical care might reasonably be thought to result in death, organ failure, or impairment of bodily function," Goldsmith wrote in his book, The Terror Presidency. "The health benefits statute's use of ‘severe pain’ had no relationship whatsoever to the torture statute. And even if it did, the health benefit statute did not define ‘severe pain.’ Rather it used the term ‘severe pain’ as a sign of an emergency medical condition that, if not treated, might cause organ failure and the like.... OLC’s clumsily definitional arbitrage
