Zelikow admits (and proof exists) that he warned the Bush administration about his opinion that the legal basis for torture was unsound.

Despite this, the Bush administration opted for a legal decision that would allow them to bring maximum pressure to bear on individuals, with the stated goal (by Maj. Burney) of eliciting a specific, pre-determined conclusion about a relationship between Iraq and al-Qaida, in order to justify an attack and occupation of Iraq.

I think there must be people on both sides of the aisle beginning to sweat bullets...especially after Zelikow's suggestion to de-politicize the situation,let DOJ do it's job,and let the chips fall where they may.

Drip, drip, drip, indeed...
