May 21 - In a crucial memo written four months after the September 11,
2001, terror attacks, Justice Department lawyers advised that
President George W. Bush and the U.S. military did not have to comply
with any international laws in the handling of detainees in the war on
terrorism. It was that conclusion, say some critics, that laid the
groundwork for aggressive interrogation techniques that led to the
abuses at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.
