  • Die Folter-Memos sind zwei Rechtsgutachten und ein Brief aus dem Jahr 2002, mit denen die US-Regierung unter George W. Bush den rechtlichen Rahmen für umstrittene Verhörmethoden ausdefinierte. Die beiden Autoren, John Yoo und , waren unter John Ashcroft als Rechtsberater im US-Justizministerium tätig. Im Krieg gegen den Terror wurden in der Folge die sogenannten erweiterten Verhörtechniken gegen Verdächtige angewandt, die allgemein als Folter bewertet werden, so zum Beispiel Waterboarding, Schläge, das erzwungene Verharren in und Schlafentzug (bis zu 180 Stunden).
