Congressman Joe Sestak, D-7th Dist., wants U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to release a report critical of Justice Department lawyers who authorized coercive interrogations, including the waterboarding of captured enemy combatants.
On Sunday, Sestak faxed a letter to Holder’s office requesting findings of a probe of potential misconduct by attorneys who authored the so-called “torture memos” during the Bush administration.
During Holder’s confirmation hearing in January, he testified that he considered the use of waterboarding to be torture and illegal as a means to coerce enemy captives to reveal information.
