Today's Washington Post includes a letter to the editor I wrote entitled 'What Congress Should Do Next About Torture.' The letter was written in response to this editorial.

An excerpt:

The problem is not that the Senate has not banned torture. The problem is that President Bush, aided by a Justice Department run by torture apologists, violates those bans.

...

Several laws and treaties already declare torture illegal, but another law prevents prosecution for these crimes against humanity. If Congress is to restore this country’s honor and guide us away from the torture chambers, Congress needs to repeal the Military Commissions Act of 2006.

Subjects: Congress | Justice Department | Legislation
