The biography of a one page memorandum signed by Donald Rumsfeld on 2 December 2002 authorising 18 techniques of interrogation not previously allowed by the United States.

Four indivudals dominate the story: Rumsfeld, US lawyer John Yoo, victim Mohammed al-Qahtani and X, an anonymous European prosecutor.
