To the Editor:
   Now that mr. Panetta is safely ensconced in Langley, it is past time to drop the pretense that torture happened passively. It has been established that real people were tortured by real agents of my government, in blatant violation of our statute and our treaty obligations. We must either extradite those who did it or prosecute them ourselves, even if president Obama will subsequently pardon them for political reasons. To carry on with the cover-up of crimes from the Bush administration doesn't serve America.
