As a lawyer I always advise people to get it in writing.... seems a lot of people forget what they said when it gets to be the time when the buck must stop. I guess the lawyers for the CIA thought the same thing so they asked the White House to sign off on the approval to torture. Hats off to the talking dog for passing on the news.

Our Man in Washington
Not only is the economy unravelling at a rapid rate, but so too the well laid extraordinary legal regime of the Bush administration. All that remains are a few well worn Republican dirty tricks to rort the ballot
In a manoeuvre emblematic of George Bush’s lawless approach to law enforcement, military commission charges have been referred against a Tanzanian, Ahmed Ghailani, for civil offences.
As the Miami Herald noted, there’s a valid indictment against Ghailani in US District Court in New York for his alleged role in the 1998 bombing of the US Embassy in Tanzania (see my post of June 2), but the Bush administration prefers a military commission.
No doubt, it’s because the Pentagon intends to use evidence tortured from Ghailani or others.
