"In releasing these memos, it is our intention to assure those who carried out their duties relying in good faith upon legal advice from the Department of Justice that they will not be subject to prosecution."
Is this the loophole that we're all gasping and grasping for?
It's a thin thread, to be sure. But how in fact does one prove "good faith" -- especially when we know for certain that at least some of this torture was conducted prior to the legal opinions in those memos? Does that not at least suggest strongly that in fact there was no such "good faith"??? That the legal opinions were indeed sought as "legal cover"?
Jesus I'm tired of grasping at straws! I never imagined I'd still be doing the same thing under a dem president -- harkens back to the Fitzmas days...
