Leahy Invites Bybee to Testify

Carrie Johnson, The Washington Post: "Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.) yesterday invited federal Judge Jay S. Bybee to testify about his role in preparing two Justice Department memos that allowed interrogators to engage in techniques such as simulating drowning and slamming prisoners against a wall. Bybee, who has been a judge on the US Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit for the past six years, previously headed the department's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC)."
