To the Editor:
No American is above the law. This applies as much to agents of our C.I.A. as to anyone else. In extremis, our president may pardon an agent for crimes if he/she judges such a pardon to be in the national interest. Were the president to block the investigation of violations of our statutory law or of our treaty obligations, he/she would be obstructing justice, in violation of his/her constitutional duty.
