MORE TORTURE TIMELINE INFORMATION

Karen Hughes admitted that the WH debated using torture before July 2002 and a new report on NPR points to the use of torture BEFORE the OLC issued any of its specious memos:
Zubaydah was picked up on March 28, 2002. The Justice Department issued its first memo on torture four months later on Aug. 1.

Zubaydah's lawyer, Brent Mickum, believes documents and testimony in the public record establish "beyond question that Abu Zubaydah was subjected to torture before the issuance of the Aug. 1 memorandum."

The CIA admitted that it received legal guidance before Aug. 1st.
