Amnesty International Condemns Watering Down of the DOJ Report

"While Amnesty International welcomes the long overdue release of the OPR report, it is deeply disappointing that the original findings of the report were diluted prior to release."

"Once again, Americans see key players in one of the darkest chapters in United States’ recent history squirm their way out of trouble with no consequences. The sanitizing of the OPR report provides further troubling evidence that U.S. government officials are not held accountable for their actions."

"Concocting a legal opinion authorizing torture goes far beyond 'poor judgment.' Yoo and Bybee ignored established U.S precedent and international legal obligations to craft a golden shield for the most heinous of human rights abuses. This is not an embarrassing legal faux pas – this amounts to complicity in torture and merits much more than the mild-mannered rebuke contained in this report."
