  • Complicity in the commission of a war crime - torture,
    ill-treatment of detainees.

    Conventions regarding the invasion of Afghanistan by labeling it a
    failed state and that prisoners seized during that operation would not
    be covered by the Geneva Convention protections.
  • Issued other legal memos arguing that the commander in chief was
    justified in ordering torture during wartime.
