[[ProPublica]] notes that "the Bush administration’s [[Global War on Terror|"war on terror"]] - including its controversial policies on detentions, interrogations and warrantless wiretapping - were all underpinned by legal memoranda. While some of those memos have been released ... the former administration chose to keep many others secret, citing security and confidentiality concerns. The decision to release them now lies with [[Barack Obama|President Obama]]. To help inform the debate - and inject an extra dose of accountability - we’re posting a list of the relevant memos, both public and secret." [http://www.propublica.org/special/missing-memos]
Memo authors include [[John C. Yoo]], [[Steven G. Bradbury]], [[Jay Bybee]], [[James B. Comey]], [[Robert J. Delahunty]], [[Jack Goldsmith]] and and other , [[James Ho]], [[Daniel Levin]], [[Patrick Philbin]], legal architects (and some internal critics) of the Bush Administration's use of torture and detention policies now being reversedor reviewed by the Obama Administration.
