Revealing and disturbing piece on the Time magazine blog regarding the dictating of interrogation techniques (including torture techniques however this administration spins it) of
"high value" al Quaeda operatives.

The "Principals" (including Rumsfeld, Powell, Ashcroft, and other senior Administration figures dictated and signed off on the minutest details of torture techniques acceptable to the U.S. Government. As the blog notes, just as with the now famous legal standoff by Ashcroft's bed, the former attorney general and probably least popular administration figure amongst liberals appears to be the one person with some perspective, suggesting that that "history will not judge us kindly." Principals sign off on interrogation techniques.
