Wallace & Manning – CIA Memos Create Legal Dilemma

KiwiFM Audio: Wallace & Manning – CIA Memos Create Legal Dilemma

  • KiwiFM Audio: Wallace Chapman and Scoop's Selwyn Manning discuss how the memos between the CIA and the Bush Administration's Justice Dept mark a defining moment in Barack Obama's presidency. While releasing the documents, Obama has moved to protect CIA officers from being prosecuted for carrying out torture. This has challenged the international law premise that an individual cannot use as a defence that he or she was acting on orders.
