Memo to Pres. Bush:

You're God, do whatever you want, signed, John C. Yoo, Justice Department, 2003.

The memo that the Justice Department sent to the Pentagon in 2003, informing the military that it could "cause a profound disruption of the senses or personality," thus authorizing torture because, in the Justice Department's opinion, American laws only apply to American citizens and not its duly elected officials, has come to light, as reported in today's Washington Post.

This is on the same order as the memos discovered in cigarette manufacturers' offices that admitted that they knew what everyone in the world already knew that they knew. It's just too bad that Bill Clinton didn't have Yoo working for him in the last decade. He could have used this defense in his impeachment trial.

Make sure you save the PDF copies of the memo. It's over 80 pages long.
