Yoo memo released
The Washington Post has a story on a recently declassified memo written by former Justice Department attorney John Yoo, detailing legal issues related to the interrogation of enemy combatants. The memo cites a previous (and currently unreleased) DOJ memo setting forth the Department's interpretation of the Fourth Amendment, and its lack of applicability to domestic military operations. This yet-to-be released memo may further illuminate the assumptions undergirding the Bush administration's policies relating to the detention of U.S. citizens as enemy combatants, and the implementation of the "Terrorist Surveillance Program." ETS Pictures has touched on both of these issues in previous programs.
