Parked material from lead edit
Press TV and Daily Beast sources were derivative of the Guardian interview. The fact that DOJ ruled the techniques legal will be added back to the article later.
- Also in 2002, the Department of Justice issued a series of top-secret legal opinions stating the enhanced interrogation techniques did not violate US laws against torture, but the summary of an investigation into the practices concluded that the opinions were based on misleading information provided by the CIA.[1] In subsequent years, Mitchell has been accused of being a war criminal and was the subject of an ethics complaint that was dismissed.[3]

Is Mitchell Mormon? The only reliable source I've found on the subject is this Vanity Fair article, which says he is. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 23:31, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
