"Justice Dept. Will Share Interrogation Opinions"

"Justice Dept. Will Share Interrogation Opinions": The New York Times today contains an article that begins, "In a partial concession to Congressional pressure, the Bush administration agreed on Wednesday to show the Senate and House Intelligence Committees secret Justice Department legal opinions justifying harsh interrogation techniques that critics call torture."

And The Washington Post reports today that "Lawmakers to See Secret Documents."

John P. Elwood, deputy assistant attorney general for the Office of Legal Counsel, was the Justice Department's representative who testified at yesterday's hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Property Rights. The title of yesterday's hearing was "Secret Law and the Threat to Democratic and Accountable Government." You can view video of the hearing by clicking here (RealPlayer required).
