33. Those who ordered it, those who committed it and those who new
about it being done and didn't act to stop it. Same as with any other crime.
But certainly not the lawyers who wrote the memos. The memos are just their
personal legal opinion and advice. It may have been a very bad advice, which
exposed their clients to possible prosecution, and as such may have constituted
professional misconduct on their part. However, getting a legal advice does not
absolve anyone of responsibilities for their actions. Now, soundness of this advice
can be tested in the courts. If that was a good advice from good lawyers, the clients
have nothing to fear from the courts. That's why good advice from good lawyers is so
expensive. I am sure the courts do a great job sorting that all out, if given the chance.
