Daniel Levin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Daniel Levin was a United States Assistant Attorney General in 2004 who was forced to resign over the issue of waterboarding after Attorney General Alberto Gonzales took office. He gained media attention after subjecting himself to waterboarding, under supervision by the military. He later stated that waterboarding is torture unless performed in a highly limited way and with close supervision, and was reportedly working on a more strongly worded memo specifically calling for its prohibition when he was forced out of the Justice Department.[1]
