And here's a great Newsweek article about how wrong and criminal the FBI considered it to torture: http://www.newsweek.com/id/195089/output/print

The "golden shield" memos of Yoo and Bybee were written after the "borderline torture" (in former FBI agent Ali Soufan's words) was conducted in order to reassure the CIA operatives. Delahunty and Yoo's memo had already set the torture program in motion.
