Just when I thought I could go to bed I came across the headline at Drudge ”TEAM OBAMA MAY SEEK DISBARMENT OF BUSH LAWYERS.” Since they don’t think they can send them to jail, they now plan to go after their ability to make a living.
From the New York Times – who must be loving this.
An internal Justice Department inquiry into the conduct of Bush administration lawyers who wrote secret memorandums authorizing brutal interrogations has concluded that the authors committed serious lapses of judgment but should not be criminally prosecuted, according to government officials briefed on a draft of the findings.
The report by the Office of Professional Responsibility, an internal ethics unit within the Justice Department, is also likely to ask that state bar associations consider possible disciplinary action, including reprimands or even disbarment, for some of the lawyers involved in writing the legal opinions, the officials said.
Politics of personal destruction – is this the sort of change Americans were looking for?
Why am I NOT surprised?
So let’s get technical: Was waterboarding, by U.S. law illegal at the time the briefings were prepared?
U.S. law…not U.N. mandates, foreign Law or the friggen Magna Carta. YOU ESS LAW.
