Note to Talking Heads!!


Since the new meme du jour from the Wingers is, "Why selectively release memos that reflect badly on the Bush Administration? Why didn't they release the other memos?"**, please note-

Torture Documents Released Under FOIA

The ACLU filed a request on Oct. 7, 2003, under the Freedom of Information Act demanding the release of information about detainees held overseas by the United States. While many documents have been released, many vital records are still being withheld by the government.
Note the wording- "information about detainees held overseas". Not "information on the success of interrogation methods in thwarting new attacks". You want those memos, then request them here. The CIA released just (and barely) what was requested, as they would.

**Twice earlier on Faux and just now on MSNBC.
