Are we still torturing?
by Jeff Guhin

From here, here, and here:

The disclosure of secret Justice Department legal opinions on interrogation has set off a bitter round of debate over the treatment of terrorism suspects in American custody and whether Congress has been adequately informed of legal policies.

Senator John D. Rockefeller IV, the West Virginia Democrat who heads the intelligence committee, scoffed at the president’s assertions that his administration has been forthcoming.

“The administration can’t have it both ways,” the senator said today. “I’m tired of these games. They can’t say that Congress has been fully briefed while refusing to turn over key documents used to justify the legality of the program. The reality is, the administration refused to disclose the program to the full Committee for five years, and they have refused to turn over key legal documents since day one.”
