Law & Order TV Series Highlights Torture Scandal

Yesterday's episode of NBC's Law and Order, “Memo From The Dark Side”, which looked at the controversies surrounding torture and the legal shenanigans of government attorneys to allow it under the Bush administration, was by all accounts very well-researched, and quite dramatically effective. Here's a video clip from YouTube, entitled "John Yoo ripped from the headlines - Good Faith and the Ticking Time
Bomb":



The Memo from the Dark Side episode repeats on NBC, Saturday, September 26, at 8:00pm Eastern Time. The episode also is available, I'm told, on I-Tunes for $2.99.

Marcy Wheeler has a nice post about the Law & Order episode over at Emptywheel/FDL.
