> Please email Attorney General Holder today to ask him to release the 
> Department of Justice Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) report.  
> The OPR report is believed to detail instances of professional misconduct by 
> lawyers in the previous Administration's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC).  
> Specifically, it is reported to demonstrate how lawyers in the OLC purposely 
> misinterpreted the law in order to sanction torture and other abusive acts.
> 
> On Wednesday, Nov. 18th, Attorney General Holder told the Senate Judiciary 
> Committee that a career prosecutor was going to review the report but that he 
> expected that that review would be completed and the report released by Nov. 
> 30.  As of December 14, the OPR report has not been released.
> 
> Please email the Attorney General's office to ask him to release the OPR 
> report.  A model email can be found here.
