According the New York Times, the report by the Justice Department Office of Professional Responsibility is to recommend that state bar associations take disciplinary action against some of the attorneys in the OLC that wrote memoranda supporting torture.

An internal Justice Department inquiry into the conduct of Bush administration lawyers who wrote secret memorandums authorizing brutal interrogations has concluded that the authors committed serious lapses of judgment but should not be criminally prosecuted, according to government officials briefed on a draft of the findings. The report by the Office of Professional Responsibility, an internal ethics unit within the Justice Department, is also likely to ask that state bar associations consider possible disciplinary action, including reprimands or even disbarment, for some of the lawyers involved in writing the legal opinions, the officials said.

Andrew Sullivan offers his spot-on take:

I know, given the full extent of the torture program, its systematic nature, its plain illegality, and its obvious contempt for the spirit and intent of the prohibition on torture, what I suspect. And if this report finds gross misconduct by the government lawyers doing the president’s bidding, then the case is not closed. Far from it, it has just begun. And the real war criminals – Bush and Cheney – are getting closer and closer to justice.
