This is a big deal. Really big. A lot of people all over the planet are going to be trying to explain what it all means, so I will spare you my backseat analysis. Instead, I will point you to some of the memos and a discussion on Metafilter that can lead you to other peoples interpretations.

And then I might encourage you to refresh your memory of Lindy England. Unlike the masterminds of the "interrogation Policy", she actually went to court. And to jail.
