The circle is now closed and smoothed:

  • White House desires torture
  • CIA demands legal cover
  • OLC asked to provide legal rationale
  • CIA and White House tell what they want OLC memos to say; CIA provides the so-called "evidence" of safety of torture techniques
  • OLC writes the memos, following instructions
  • Obama White House then says no one can be prosecuted because they followed the memos
  • Memo authors are immune because there was no standard saying that incompetent work on demand designed to legalize hitherto illegal activities is unethical
  • Thus, patently illegal activities are able to carried out with no legal culpability for anyone
