Don't blame you at all...I'd be more comfortable if she wasn't in that office right now myself.
Agreed on the memo thing, especially now as the Bush CIA and others (people now out of office) are all defending their actions by saying "see, it worked, we stopped X from happening" when chronologically, such cause-and-effect is in some cases impossible to have happened as the torture apologists have described.
The reality of KSM is that they didn't turn him into a stooge: they turned him into a jammer, spouting out plot after plot, exactly what they *wanted* to hear, and causing more false alarms in ways that are now impacting REAL terrorist prosecutions like the instance where he claimed credit for something the Pakistani government had already caught and convicted someone for.
