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
