Le secrétaire (justice) Eric Holder annonce qu'il y aura une enquête sur le décès de deux personnes détenues par la C.I.A.. Cet épisode nébuleux s'est déroulé sous la présidence de George W. Bush...
"Attorney General Eric Holder announced that the Justice Department is conducting a full investigation into the deaths of two individuals in CIA custody during the Bush administration.
Holder said that special prosecutor John Durham, who is leading the inquiry, reviewed a "tremendous volume of information pertaining to the detainees" that included "both information and matters that had never previously been examined by the Department."
"Mr. Durham has advised me of the results of his investigation, and I have accepted his recommendation to conduct a full criminal investigation regarding the death in custody of two individuals," Holder said. "Those investigations are ongoing. The Department has determined that an expanded criminal investigation of the remaining matters is not warranted.
Republicans have criticized Holder for opening a preliminary inquiry into the matter.
Holder made clear in his statement that the Justice Department "would not prosecute anyone who acted in good faith and within the scope of the legal guidance given by the Office of Legal Counsel regarding the interrogation of detainees."
He said the review "examined primarily whether any unauthorized interrogation techniques were used by CIA interrogators, and if so, whether such techniques could constitute violations of the torture statute or any other applicable statute.""
