Philip Zelikow just offered a bit of news about the memo he wrote offering an alternative view on the legality of torture, which he said the White House tried to have destroyed.
Zelikow told the Senate committee that the memo, which had not previously been found, “has been located in State Department files and is being reviewed for declassification.”
He said that at the time, he thought the effort to have the memo destroyed — which he described as “informal” — was “improper” and ignored it.
And it sounds like we may get a look at it soon.
