승인되는 waterboarding 그리고 다른 가혹한 심문 전술이 이전 부시 행정부 관리 중 불안에게 일으키는 원인이 되고 있는 고위 변호사의 행위에 내부 사법부 보고. H. 마샬 Jarrett 의 부의 윤리학 감시인 단위, 작년에 확인된 직업적인 책임 (OPR)의 사무실의 장 그는 결정적인 심문 메모에 있는 법적 조언이 "검사 법무부에." 적용하는 직업적인 기준으로 일관되었ㅆ다는 것을 조사하고 있었다 확인되지 않는 것을 물은 2개의 지식이 있는 근원에 따르면 과민한 사정을 토론한, 보고의 초안은 부시 행정부의 마지막 주에서 복종되어. 그것은 예리하게 2개의 이전 최고 관리의 법적인 일을 강평했는가? Jay Bybee와 죤 Yoo? 법률 상담 (OLC)의 사무실의 당시에 장인 Steven Bradbury의 저것 뿐만 아니라, 보고는 복종되었다, 근원은 밝혔다. (Bybee, Yoo 및 Bradbury는 다수 RFC에 반응하지 않았다.) 그러나 다른 한편으로는? 마이클 Mukasey 법무 장관과 그의 대리인, 표 Filip는 근원에 따르면 초안에, 강하게, 반대했다. Filip는 보고를, 말했다 근원의 한, 이전 최고 부시 행정부 변호사를 모든 3개의 교장에서 응답을 포함하는 원했다. (Mukasey는 도달될 수 없었다; 참모장 그의 이전 RFC에 반응하지 않았다. Filip는 또한 지금 마지막 버전이 법무 장관 홀더 Jr.에게 Eric 선물되기 전에 전화 메시지.) OPR를 응답을 포함하는 것을 노력하고 있다 돌려보내지 않았다. "사정 검토의 밑에 있다,"는 공정 대변인 매튜 밀러를 말했다. 홀더가 OPR 발견을 받아들이는 경우에, 보고는 가능한 징계 조치를 위한 국가 변호사 협회에 발송될 수 있었다. But some former Bush officials are furious about the OPR’s initial findings and question the premise of the probe. “OPR is not competent to judge [the opinions by Justice attorneys]. They’re not constitutional scholars,” said the former Bush lawyer. Mukasey, in speeches before he left, decried the second-guessing of Justice lawyers who, acting under “almost unimaginable pressure” after 9/11, offered “their best judgment of what the law required.” But the OPR probe began after Jack Goldsmith, a Bush appointee who took over OLC in 2003, protested the legal arguments made in the memos. Goldsmith resigned the following year after withdrawing the memos, and later wrote that he was “astonished” by the “deeply flawed” and “sloppily reasoned” legal analysis in the memos by Yoo and Bybee, including their assertion (challenged by many scholars) that the president could unilaterally disregard a law passed by Congress banning torture. OPR investigators focused on whether the memo’s authors deliberately slanted their legal advice to provide the White House with the conclusions it wanted, according to three former Bush lawyers who asked not to be identified discussing an ongoing probe. One of the lawyers said he was stunned to discover how much material the investigators had gathered, including internal e-mails and multiple drafts that allowed OPR to reconstruct how the memos were crafted. In a departure from the norm, Jarrett also told members of the Senate Judiciary Committee last year he would inform them of his findings and would “consider” releasing a public version. If he does, it could be the most revealing public glimpse yet at how some of the major decisions of Bush-era counterterrorism policy were made.
