— The Justice Department revealed Friday that its internal ethics office was investigating the department's legal approval for waterboarding of al-Qaida suspects by the CIA.

The disclosure by H. Marshall Jarrett, the head of the department's Office of Professional Responsibility, was the first official acknowledgment of an internal review into the legal memorandums the department has issued since 2002 that authorized waterboarding and other harsh interrogation methods.
