You would figure that after a top Justice Department official writes a scathing memo about how the department’s own Office of Professional Responsibility handled a case there would be some changes made in that office, right? Stands to reason.
So after reading associate deputy attorney general David Margolis’ rebuke of OPR’s handling and analysis of whether torture memo authors John Yoo and Jay Bybee violated their professional responsibilities, we decided to ask Attorney General Eric Holder whether he plans any review of OPR or to make any changes there. His response may surprise you.
