![Yoo was the author of the controversial "Torture Memos" in the war on terror. As the deputy assistant attorney general in the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) of the Department of Justice, Yoo wrote the Torture Memos to determine the legal limits for the torture of detainees following the September 11 attacks. The legal guidance on interrogation authored by Yoo and his successors in the OLC were rescinded by President Barack Obama in 2009.[3][4][5] Some called for investigating and prosecuting Yoo under various anti-torture and anti-war crimes statutes.[6][7][8][9]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nm72dzwpx6sugfzpkae75zl5/bafkreihk36qoxp4oxgjxclqa67rabtekitorojqjhfpxmulwiufg2h4lqe)
