To the Editor:
   On many of president Obama's policies, it will take years to judge his success. On his promise of a new transparency in government, we can have an answer this week.  A British court has found that one of their residents was tortured while in U.S. custody, and that the relevant data can be made public without threat to U.S. national security. It is now on the U.S. administration to either honor our treaty obligations or to align itself with president Bush against the rule of law.
