U.S. Appeals Court Clears Torture Memo Author

A federal appeals court said Wednesday that John Yoo, the George W. Bush administration lawyer who wrote memos used to rationalize torture of suspected terrorists, cannot be sued by enemy combatants who claim they were tortured. Yoo, who was the deputy assistant attorney general in the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel from 2001 to 2003, was sued by Jose Padilla, the so-called "dirty bomber." Padilla, an American citizen, claims Yoo's internal legal opinions paved the way for his harsh interrogation while he was secretly held without charges at a Navy brig in South Carolina for more than three years.
