Or The Economist on another scandal ... 'The memo comes close to claiming that the president is above the law when acting as wartime commander-in-chief' Shameful revelations will haunt Bush economist.com 'The trouble is that this one lawyer worked in the office that provides legal opinion for the whole administration. His views were solicited by someone up the chain of command (it is not known who). They subsequently informed a Pentagon report on interrogations. They were not a one-off. Even if policy did not change, the memo undermines the administration's “rotten apples” defence in Abu Ghraib. Lastly, Mr Bush’s reaction was not reassuring. Asked about the memo, he said: “the instructions went out to our people to adhere to law. That ought to comfort you.” Now the instructions can be read, it is hard to be comforted. The unease they cause is likely to dog Mr Bush for some time.'
