Justice memo redefines torture

Justice memo redefines torture 12/31/2004 06:32 PM
Xeni Jardin: The US Justice Department has released a new memo that revises and broadens the definition of torture, replacing a 2002 memo that justified its use to protect national security.

The 17-page document states flatly that torture violates U.S. and international law and omits two of the most controversial assertions made in now-disavowed 2002 Justice Department documents: that President Bush, as commander in chief in wartime, had authority superseding U.S. anti-torture laws and that U.S. personnel had several legal defenses against criminal liability in such cases.

"Consideration of the bounds of any such authority would be inconsistent with the president's unequivocal directive that United States personnel not engage in torture," said the memo from Daniel Levin, acting chief of the Office of Legal Counsel, to Deputy Attorney General James Comey.

Critics in Congress and many legal experts say the original documents set up a legal framework that led to abuses at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, in Afghanistan and at the U.S. prison camp for terror suspects at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. After the Iraqi prison abuses came to light, the Justice Department in June disavowed its previous legal reasoning and set to work on the replacement document to be released Friday. The Justice Department memo, dated Thursday, was released less than a week before the Senate Judiciary Committee is to consider President Bush's nomination of his chief White House counsel, Alberto Gonzales, to replace John Ashcroft as attorney general.

Dave Duffield Redefines Long Term As
Less Than Three Months

Dave Duffield Redefines Long Term As
Less Than Three Months 12/28/2004 07:08 PM
It's unlikely to surprise just about anyone, but Dave Duffield won't stick around to be a part of Oracle, now that the PeopleSoft deal is set. He apparently put in his resignation last week after just a couple months on the job. When he came in, following the firing of Craig Conway in October, many assumed he was brought in to sell the company to Oracle. He quickly claimed that he had no intention of selling to Oracle, which lasted less than two months before he agreed to sell to Oracle. Now that that's done, there's no reason for him to stick around. Apparently his statement: "I'm here for the long term," was open to interpretation. Of course, in an age when Wall Street judges a company's "long term" prospects based on their quarterly performance, perhaps this does meet the definition of long term these days.
