Jason Leopold, Truthout: "A Justice Department watchdog report that is said to be highly critical of the legal work conducted for the Bush administration by three attorneys who worked at the agency’s powerful Office of Legal Counsel is in the process of being revised after the agency received responses on the report's conclusions from the attorneys under scrutiny, according to a letter sent to two Democratic senators by a Justice Department’s acting assistant attorney general. The Justice Department’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) is apparently 'watering' down some of the more critical conclusions related to legal opinions on 'enhanced interrogation' policies based on responses from John Yoo, Steven Bradbury and Jay Bybee. It's now unknown, the DOJ, said when the revised version of its report will be complete."
