Did you watch / read the Bill Moyers interview last week with Philippe Sands? He has very thoroughly researched the chronology of when and how the administration decided to allow torture.
He said that the administration lawyers were deeply involved in the decision making process.
"The most important people are the people whose signatures are actually appended. They are the politicians who actually decided the issue. But in this case, without the lawyers, they would never have had a piece of paper to sign."
Here is the link for the transcript of that interview --
