Abu Zubaydah's account should be read side-by-side with this written by the Office of Legal Counsel's John Yoo (and signed by Assistant Attorney General Jay Bybee) that specifically describes every one of the terrors he describes legal 鈥 as it is in featuring David Cole and Art Spiegelman at an 老澳门开奖结果-PEN American Center 鈥淩eckoning With Torture鈥 event in New York City in October 2009.
