@emptywheel So, outside the US, a MON is simply legal justification for state sanctioned murder..... did Jack Goldsmith see that MON? -
@dametzger But that one authorizes WITHIN US as well. And yes, pretty sure Goldsmith saw it. Stephen Preston surely has. -
@emptywheel Who actually wrote that MON? And did AG see it? -
@dametzger Cofer Black proposed it. Prolly Tenet, Addington, Cheney, put it to text. AGs prolly know about it--Holder esp, bc of drones -
@emptywheel And no push back from Ashcroft? Wowza. -
@dametzger Not sure when Ashcroft saw it. But remember, he's insanely conservative. And all Presidents use Findings. -
@emptywheel Also deeply religious - can't see him signing off on torture and murder but who knows.... Have past findings been made public? -
@dametzger Deeply religious Mormons have about 4 leadership roles in this torture. Religions--particularly Ashcroft's--pretty authoritarian - 1 more reply
