This legal memorandum from Steven Bradbury to John Rizzo examines the application of the War Crimes Act, the Detainee Treatment Act, and Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions to certain techniques that may be used by the CIA to interrogate high value al-Qaeda detainees. The memorandum concludes that the CIA's six proposed interrogation techniques would comply with the Detainee Treatment Act and War Crimes Act and that Common Article 3 permits the CIA to proceed with the proposed interrogation program.
