Stephen Gillers | The Torture Memo

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/041208A.shtml

According to Stephen Gillers in The Nation, "The Justice Department is
investigating the lawyers whose memos gave the Bush administration the
legal support it needed for waterboarding and other brutal
interrogation techniques. We are 'examining whether the legal advice in these
memoranda was consistent with the professional standards that apply to
Department of Justice attorneys,' H. Marshall Jarrett, counsel for the
Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsibility, wrote to two
Democratic senators in February."
