Domingo Soto: Because Freedom Isn't Dumb

INTERROGATION POLICY CAUSED INTERNAL CONFLICTS AT PENTAGON
"One of the military's top civilian lawyers, one of many dissenters inside the Pentagon,repeatedly challenged the Bush administration's policy on the coercive interrogation of terror suspects, arguing that such practices violated the law, verged on torture and could ultimately expose senior officials to prosecution, a newly disclosed document shows.
But Mr. Mora's campaign against what he viewed as an official policy of cruel treatment, detailed in a memorandum he wrote in July 2004 and recounted in an article in the Feb. 27 issue of The New Yorker magazine, made public yesterday, underscored again how contrary views were often brushed aside in administration debates on the subject.
