While Americans may enjoy a moment of smug satisfaction in comparing Russian prosecutors to those of Stalin's USSR, we should spare a moment to consider the role of politics in our own DoJ. Who is prosecuting torturers? Who is prosecuting wiretappers? Who is questioning the legality of extrajudicial executions? As long as Eric Holder's DoJ is subordinate to president Obama's political agenda, the Rule of Law is guaranteed only to the powerful.
