Actually it did exactly the opposite.  It reiterated the Bush position that
the United States will not tolerate torture.  It examined the language of
the torture statute and the existing court precedents on what constitutes
torture.  And it then specified limitations on various interrogation
methods - right down to the exact temperature of the water and of the room
for water dousing - in order to avoiding any action that would be legally
guilty of torture.  It is amazing that you are still unaware of what the
memos say.
