Secret Interrogation Memos to be Released

File under Doing the Right Thing:

"After a tense internal debate, the Obama administration this afternoon will make public a number of detailed memos describing the harsh interrogation techniques used by the Central Intelligence Agency against al Qaeda suspects in secret overseas prisons," the New York Times reports.

"The interrogation methods were among the Bush administration's most closely guarded secrets, and today's release will be the most comprehensive public accounting to date of the interrogation program that some senior Obama administration officials have said used illegal torture."

The Wall Street Journal says that while "some operational details" of the interrogation program will be revealed, the administration will "keep secret the names of detainees and the way techniques were applied to particular prisoners."
