A former acting chief of the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel said Tuesday he is "not opposed" to a criminal investigation of the office, which was at the center of the Bush administration's internal debate about torture. At the same time, Daniel Levin defended the motives of former OLC officials who have drawn criticism because of their involvement in so-called "torture memos." Levin's comments were unusual because other former Republican appointees have opposed additional investigations of the OLC.
