Abstract:
A 2010 memorandum of decision from Deputy Attorney General David Margolis to Attorney General Eric Holder finding that John Yoo's and Jay Bybee's "torture memos," the memoranda written by Yoo and Bybee as lawyers in the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel that provided the legal basis for certain interrogation techniquesthe torture memos, were flawed but reflected no professional misconduct. This memorandum rejects the conclusions of the Office of Professional Responsibility, which opined in July 2009 that Yoo and Bybee engaged in professional misconduct by failing to provide thorough, candid, and objective analysis in the torture memos.
