More on the torture docs

From the New York Times:

The section of the August 2002 memorandum specifically disavowed by the White House, concerning the president's power as commander in chief to ignore laws against torture, drew particular scorn.

"If the president has commander-in-chief power to commit torture," [Harold Hongju Koh, dean of the Yale Law School] said, "he has the power to commit genocide, to sanction slavery, to promote apartheid, to license summary execution."

The Dean went on to give the documents a C+ grade at best.
