In an Exclusive Interview and Breaking Story on Rachel Maddow tonight,
she interviewed Philip Zelikow, counselor to Condeleeza Rice, who has
now released that he strongly differed within the Bush Administration
on the torture memoranda and set his opinions in writing.
The response from the Bush Administration was to try to round up all
copies of his memo and destroy it.
Now that the Torture Memoranda have been declassified he is free to
speak about his dissent.
Rachel opened her show tonight with a blockbuster exclusive interview,
saying:
"The decision to release Office of Legal Counsel Memos re. torture has
had one other ramification so far and it is this: Govt. officials who
knew about torture but who were sworn to secrecy are now free to talk
about it."
She said that new major news to report: Condeleeza Rics's counselor at
the State Dept, Philip Zellico, wrote a memo to the Bush
Administration arguing that the legal opinions on torture were wrong.
He gave competing advice to the Bush Administration, which responded
by trying to destroy his memo.
