To: letters@nytimes.com
To the Editor:
The constitution of the U.S. requires the president "take Care that
the Laws be faithfully executed". This requires that he/she should
look back as well as forward; that is where evidence of crimes exist.
I have no confidence that a president who will not prosecute those who
placed warrantless wiretaps will defend my other constitutional
rights. Foreign governments might well question our word on new
treaties as long as we fail to prosecute violations of our existing
treaties banning torture and inhumane treatment.
