Condi gave a thumbs up to torture
And *gasp* before the it's okay if we say so memo.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Then-national security adviser Condoleezza Rice verbally OK'd the CIA's request to subject alleged al-Qaida terrorist Abu Zubaydah to waterboarding in July 2002, a decision memorialized a few days later in a secret memo that the Obama administration declassified last week.

Rice's role was detailed in a narrative released Wednesday by the Senate Intelligence Committee. It provides the most detailed timeline yet for how the CIA's harsh interrogation program was conceived and approved at the highest levels in the Bush White House.

The new timeline shows that Rice played a greater role than she admitted last fall in written testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee. (oh no Condi a liar-say it ain't so Bob)

The narrative also shows that dissenting legal views about the severe interrogation methods were brushed aside repeatedly.


The stench of the banality of evil-she is there for all of it. They were spending endless days and nights talking about torture-going back to 2001.
