John Yoo’s Torture Memo

The Bybee Memo, co-authored by John Yoo, also known as the Torture Memo and the 8/1/02 Interrogation Opinion, was a document prepared by the United States Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) in response to a CIA request to the White House. Following this memo, a new definition of torture was issued. Most actions that fall under the international definition do not fall within this new definition advocated by the U.S.
