Posted by Eugene Volokh: Prof. Michael Stokes Paulsen's Testimony in Defense of the So-Called "Torture Memos," and Their Authors: http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2009_05_24-2009_05_30.shtml#1243617439

I don't know enough about the separation of powers questions to have an informed opinion, but Paulsen is a serious and thoughtful scholar, and his views struck me as worth passing along. For other views from the same hearing, see [3]Prof. Philip Zelikow's testimony, [4]Prof. David Luban's testimony (which on my quick glance seems to be the one most at odds with Prof. Paulsen's analysis), [5]Prof. Robert Turner's testimony, and [6]Prof. Jeffrey F. Addicott's testimony, and [7]Ali Soufan's testimony.
