The report’s release comes as the Justice Department has recommended reopening nearly a dozen prisoner abuse cases that the Bush administration had closed. The move could open the door to prosecuting CIA employees and contractors for torture and other abuses that in some cases led to the prisoners’ deaths. The Office of Professional Responsibility’s recommendations overrule previous determinations made under the Bush administration, which declined to press charges after receiving the same findings. The cases mainly center around alleged abuses at US prisons in Iraq and Afghanistan. Attorney General Eric Holder is expected to announce this week whether he’ll appoint a prosecutor to probe CIA torture.
