That would be like Bush sending a memo to the Attorney General telling him (through the FBI) to torture all detainees in a terrorist investigation. Then he could keep that a secret because the attorney general was his "lawyer"

Ah... well, the torture memo actually came the other direction, from Alberto Gonzales (now Attorney General Gonzales) to the white house, advising them on the legality of torture.
What a sad state when things have degraded so far that a sitting president asks for legal opinions on how much torture he can get away with.
Thus ends the grand experment, I suppose. I'm sure there's plenty of string-pullers who are standing in line to start new experiments though, and a captive group of test subjects on which to ply thier trade.
