Were the Bush terror justifications created in "good faith?"

Glenn Greenwald:

[N]otably, Holder did not release today, but instead continues to conceal, the OPR Report which, it has long been reported, concluded that the DOJ lawyers who authored the torture memos (at least John Yoo and Jay Bybee) violated their ethical duties by producing legally fallacious conclusions -- i.e., they issued those memos in bad faith. Withholding that OPR Report today is critical because it focuses attention on the flamboyant sideshow of the more extreme cases of CIA abuse, while obscuring the fact that it was high-level DOJ lawyers who, in bad faith, authorized a knowingly criminal torture regime.

Firedog Lake:

Last week, Newsweek reported that David Margolis, a career official at the Justice Department, softened an imminent Office of Professional Responsibility report about Bush “torture memo” lawyers John Yoo and Jay Bybee. Instead of sanctioning the two lawyers for their violating their professional obligations in writing legal opinions justifying torture, the report will now say, according to Newsweek, that they showed “poor judgment.” This will not open up Yoo or Bybee to sanctioning by state bar associations for disciplinary action, including possible impeachment for Bybee, now a federal judge. According to the article, Margolis acted “without input” from Attorney General Eric Holder.
