OLC Memo: "Special Review: Counterterrorism Detention and Interrogation Activities"

June 18, 2004 | OLC | ACLU-RDI 6623
An OLC memo from Jack Goldsmith to John Helgerson, the CIA's Inspector General, expressing disagreement with the Special Review's representation of OLC opinions on two points -- whether John Ashcroft (Attorney General) authorized "expanded use" of the CIA's interrogation techniques, and whether the OLC endorsed a document titled "Legal Principles Applicable to CIA Detention and Interrogation of Captured Al-Qa'ida Personnel." The memo includes an addendum with suggested changes to the Special Review.
