"Judge Weighs Dismissing Case Involving Torture Memorandums"

ADVERTISEMENTS
"Judge Weighs Dismissing Case Involving Torture Memorandums": Today in The New York Times, John Schwartz has an article that begins, "Lawyers for the Obama administration struggled on Friday to persuade a federal judge here to throw out an unusual civil lawsuit against John C. Yoo, the former government lawyer whose memorandums on torture were used by the Bush administration to justify sweeping policies on detention and interrogation."

Bloomberg News reports that "Obama Administration Defends Yoo, Torture Memo Author."

At Politico.com, Josh Gerstein reports that "Obama Justice Dept. will defend Yoo."

And law.com reports that "Judge Presses Government on Torture Memo Liability; Now a law professor, Yoo faces a complaint brought by Jose Padilla, which claims that Yoo's DOJ memos directly led to his torturous treatment."
