Judge Mukasey's apparent concern to protect American agents who may have been torturing detainees from prosecution in the future is misplaced. If Americans have been torturing, we should be the first to charge and try them for it. Torture not only shocks the conscience;it is a violation of our statutes, of our constitution and of our treaty obligations. As the highest law-enforcement officer in the land, I would look to our Attorney General to enforce these laws,rather than to seek loopholes.
