Senator: OPR report will be ‘devastating’ to torture memo authors

Several members of the Bush administration’s Office of Legal Counsel worked on memos authorizing torture, but particular attention has been focused on Jay Bybee, who is now a federal judge with the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. Since the release of the memos, calls have been coming from all quarters for his impeachment.

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), a member of the Senate Judiciary and Intelligence Committees, told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on Monday, however, that he believes no action should be taken “until the Department of Justice’s Office of Professional Responsibility finishes its investigation.”
