THE DISENT ON TORTURE WITHIN BUSH ADMINISTRATION

Rachel Maddow had an exclusive interview with Philip Zelikow on her show last night. He is a former counselor at the State Department and was a trusted advisor and former deputy to former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice. Mr Zelikow had tried to convince colleagues in the Bush administration that the OLC torture memos were wrong. In this video he tells that the memos he wrote on this were collected by the Bush White House and destroyed so they could not be used later as evidence that they were told that torture was wrong.

The video runs for 15 minutes, but it's well worth watching the entire clip.
