Secret memos found

America's shadow government partially exposed

Articles recently published by ProPublica and TheRawStory give the world brief reports about these largely unknown and once wholly secret memos. They were authored by members of the first Bush administration. Although they remain unpublished still, what is known is that they contain the administration's reasons and conclusions regarding surveillance, executive power and prisoner treatment. Currently, President Obama has the decisive authority to make these secret documents available to the public. The new President has yet to make a public decision about these documents, however.
