The Anti-Torture Memos: Balkinization Posts on Torture, Interrogation, Detention, War Powers, Executive Authority, DOJ and OLC

Marty Lederman

For ease of reference, we've grouped together [and updated] our posts on the complex of issues raised by torture, interrogation, detention, war powers, Executive authority, the Department of Justice, and the Office of Legal Counsel. We've also included a few related op-eds that Jack wrote before this blog began in January 2003. We've posted a link to this compendium on the Balkinization front page, and we update the list as new posts are written. We also have a version arranged by topic, but as of now it's only updated through December 22, 2006.
