To the Editor:

    There is now compelling evidence that Binyam Mohamed has been tortured and that the U.S. was complicit, if not responsible for it. This is a crime not only against mr. Mohamed, but--according to our statutes and our treaties--a crime against humanity. It is therefore our responsibility to prosecute or extradite those responsible.  To obstruct this is to violate what our own constitution calls "the supreme law of the land". The American people voted for change. We're waiting.
