Worse Than Nothing, Ctd

by Patrick Appel

Daphne Eviatar is more hopeful about Holder prosecuting CIA interrogators than Andrew was:

A criminal investigation of even low-level CIA interrogators who exceeded the guidelines they were given should, if done thoroughly and honestly, inevitably lead to questions about how those guidelines were communicated down the chain of command, and whether higher-ups approved the more extreme conduct. And that may be the best hope for raising the ultimate questions of how the rules were developed and whether their authors knew they were stretching the limits of the law even as they crafted them.
