To the Editor:

As long as president Obama insists "that C.I.A. officers who adhered to Justice Department interrogation guidelines should escape prosecution", we need to be in his face. No one in the Department of Justice has or had the authority to violate our treaty obligations, or our statutes. Professor Obama taught that no man is above the law. If president Obama has forgotten this, we will have to remind him.
