A Justice Dept memo, co-authored by Assistant Attorney General Jay S. Bybee and John Yoo, asserts that torture only includes physical pain so great that it leads to "death [or] organ failure," and that "mental pain…requires lasting psychological harm." The memo also argues that the criminal law prohibiting torture "may be unconstitutional if applied to interrogations undertaken of enemy combatants pursuant to the President's Commander-in-Chief powers."
