As Marcy notes this was a Friday night news dump.  The amount of information about enhanced interrogation techniques is coming into focus.  There were more than one or two voices that made it clear that these techniques violated American and International law.  The Joint Chiefs asked each branch of the military about this techniques and the answer that came back from all branches was that these techniques violate international and US law.

From WaPo:

"The unintended consequence of a U.S. policy that provides for the torture of prisoners is that it could be used by our adversaries as justification for the torture of captured U.S. personnel," says the document, an unsigned two-page attachment to a memo by the military's Joint Personnel Recovery Agency.  (The whole JPRA document can be seen here).
