BTL:Limited Torture Probe would Undermine U.S. Obligation Under International Law

Limited Torture Probe would Undermine U.S. Obligation Under International Law

Interview with Scott Horton, a contributing editor at Harper's Magazine and a lecturer at Columbia University Law School, conducted by Scott Harris

Responding to reports that Attorney General Eric Holder is considering opening a limited investigation of Bush administration torture policy, Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y. warned President Obama not to pressure Eric Holder against appointing a special prosecutor. The president has repeatedly said he wants to look forward and not backward with regard to Bush administration violations of U.S. and international law.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Holder may soon initiate a criminal probe, but would limit its scope to CIA interrogators who went beyond guidelines established by Justice Department attorneys John Yoo and Jay Bybee in 2002 memos authorizing waterboarding and other harsh interrogation methods.

Human rights groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union have criticized the initiation of a limited investigation, declaring that the prohibition against torture under U.S. and international law is absolute, with no one who authorized torture being above the law. Between The Lines' Scott Harris spoke with Scott Horton, a contributing editor at Harper's Magazine and an attorney specializing in human rights and the law of armed conflict. Horton discusses the reasons why a special prosecutor may have no choice but to expand an investigation to hold accountable Bush administration officials who authorized torture.

Scott Horton is a lecturer at Columbia University Law School. Read Horton's "No Comment" blog online at www.harpers.org

More of Obushma's Bushisms you can believe in. From the Bushite in Blackskin Clothing, who brought the World More Bailouts For Crooked Bushite CEO's, more of Uncle Bush's Wars For Oil, and More Human Rights Violations, we now get Obushma's Defense of Bushite War Criminals (which he is now in League with).
