CIA Acknowledges Bush Authorized Interrogations

I missed this news but was alerted to it by disappearednews.com which I heartily recommend.

An article in the International Herald Tribune with a New York Times byline has not, for some reason, appeared in the New York Times itself. At least, not on their website or where Google could find it. And this is an article that should be widely available to Americans.

The CIA has acknowledged for the first time the existence of two classified documents, including a directive signed by President George W. Bush, that have guided the agency’s interrogation and detention of terror suspects.

The contents of the documents were not revealed, but one of them is “a directive signed by President Bush granting the CIA the authority to set up detention facilities outside the United States and outlining interrogation methods that may be used against detainees.”

Read the whole article here, before it disappears from the Internet.
