ACLU Learns of 3rd secret torture memo... LINK

"Legal papers filed in federal court Monday in a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union and other organizations disclose that the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) issued three secret memorandums relating to interrogation practices of detainees -- one more than has been publicly revealed."

<snip>

"In addition to neglecting to provide the relevant memos to the ACLU as part of its FOIA lawsuit, the government has also withheld the documents from key senators in a congressional inquiry."

<snip>

“The Justice Department’s failure to identify and disclose these memos is yet another example of its efforts to thwart public inquiry into its authorization of illegal interrogation methods,” said Amrit Singh, a staff attorney with the ACLU’s Immigrants’ Rights Project. “The memos must immediately be disclosed, and high ranking officials must be held accountable for authorizing torture.”

4. I predict this 3rd Torture Memo will be the most egregious of the bunch.,..
... and it is clear evidence that witnesses failed to disclose its existence to Senate questioning under oath.

This may be the document that blows the lid off the torture dissembling coming from the WH.

5. If I recall correctly Gonzo was asked about ALL the torture docs numerous times...
... and he never mentioned it. Looks like Gonzo could have some liability on this one.
