@mazinmelegy Also note, the part of memo that @benjaminwittes says is most important is what I've shown to be false.
@mazinmelegy But if Fredman DIDN'T give those obvious warnings, then DOJ may have used it to say you couldn't charge Zirbel.

@emptywheel It seems like you're using the fact that the office used "intent needed for torture" as legal defense against Fredman... -
@emptywheel But isn't that precisely the role of that office? -
@mazinmelegy Fredman gave torturers guidance. If he gave guidance DESIGNED to allow anything he bears some responsibility for death. -
@emptywheel Agreed. I just don't see the same link as you between using the fax and disregarding caveats (not following DOJ legal analysis). -
@mazinmelegy It appears to be case of choosing to use possibly non-authoritative rather than authoritative to get more lenient standard. -
@emptywheel That's speculation, but I don't have an alternative to offer. Anyway, leave the guy alone he's a career guy therefore innocent.
