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

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.
