Can any one else see a pattern forming . . . ? .... Jannifer Lively Judge Bybee signed the torture memo in 2002 which approved techniques such as water boarding to be used on suspected terrorists. Judge Bybee is a lifelong member of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served a mission for the church in Santiago, Chile from 1973 - 1975. He studied law at Brigham Young University in Utah. Judge Bybee, 60, is well-known as the lawmaker who signed the torture memo in August 2002 when he was former assistant attorney general under George W. Bush. The memo allowed for techniques such as water-boarding to be used along with other brutal interrogation methods on suspected Al Qaeda terrorists at Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib prison. The methods were considered torture by Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and many of Americas allies. Bush nominated Bybee for the Court of Appeals on in January 2003 and he was confirmed by the U.S. Senate two months later. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2510870/Federal-judges-son-26-kills-Mormon-temple.html#ixzz2lKSlJjP8 Follow us: @MailOnline on Twitter | DailyMail on Facebook
