American citizens finally get to see the memos authored in 2003 that led directly to the tortures of Abu Ghraib.

Thank you ACLU!! American citizens can finally view the 2003 John Yoo torture memo. Sure would have been nice to have viewed them in 2003, when they could have made a real political difference. Lawyer/blogger Marty Lederman has a whole series of observations, the first of which is:

The classification of this memo was entirely unjustifiable. And it's fairly outrageous that Congress didn't release it when they received it. The classification and oversight systems are hopelessly broken.

Another lawyer/blogger Christ Hardin Smith wonders about why she can't seem to find any references to the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer case, as this IS a rather important Supreme Court decision concerning presidential authority. 

The memo in PDF format:  Part One, Part Two It's 81 pages long.

THE LIVING DEAD BECOMES REALITY

THE LIVING DEAD (LD): The United States Congress, fbi/cia, and perpetrators at
Abu Ghraib

The living dead (LD)... * A Frightful Lot

The modern day living dead are those individuals (including their silent, behind- the- scene supporters) who seek out others for torture, imprisonment and death.See:
http://www.sosbeevfbi.com/governmentmustcr.html
We the living recognize the dire circumstances confronting the heartily alive among us who are in numbers increasingly unarmed and at the same time unsuspecting of the the atrocities inherent in the current stealthy onslaught. Blind trust in government often lures the innocent into the ranks of the LD, and they are all soon obsessed with and mesmerized by one and the same pragmatic, godless and collective goal: the conquest of Mankind by a singularly hideous and destructive creed . See:
http://www.sosbeevfbi.com/mentaldwarfs.html
Many of us among the living have come to view the reality of the LD phenomena as antithetical to human dignity and contrary to the laws of divine nature, because we recognize that the LD is characterized in his vile machinations by a macabre, immoral and murderous disposition from which no quick escape is apparent; ironically the LD shares a common fate with his new recruits: no way out of the labyrinth of hell created by the decadent and disturbed mind.See:
http://www.sosbeevfbi.com/studiesonmindcon.html#mindcontrol
Finally, those remaining alive and strolling (on the surface placidly) amidst the turmoil created by the LD sometimes find comfort in the company of their own kind , as they welcome the inevitable return to grace offered by the heavens to the ever living and pure at heart who manage to avoid conscription into the ranks of the LD.
-----------------------------------------
*" Men die of fright and live of confidence" (Henry D. Thoreau),and in our time
fright is at once the plague of the LD and the disease it seeks to spread.
[ "No man can take part in the torture of a human being without having his own moral nature permanently lowered."
President Theodore Roosevelt.]

This is not a good and we

This is not a good and we don't have right to torture anyone.It is totally against to natural law and human being.Every body have to right to do anything for e.g they can earn money,take part in the political actives,play games and etc.I think, everybody born with these right.
