Source: No criminal case likely over torture memos

[derby378]

Justice Department investigators have finalized a report critical of Bush administration lawyers who wrote secret memos approving harsh interrogation techniques, but they stop short of recommending a criminal investigation.

A person familiar with the investigation, who spoke on condition of anonymity, says investigators recommended referring two of the three lawyers to bar associations for possible disciplinary action. The person was not authorized to discuss the inquiry.

The person noted the report is still in draft form and subject to revisions. Attorney General Eric Holder may also make his own determination about what steps to take once the report is finalized.

1. It makes me wonder why such an unfinished report and

subject to Holder's revisions would be worth any comment?

[Union Yes]

2. Still awaiting the release of the 2000 pics.

Which may blow it open and lead to further investigation.
