To the Editor:

    The best time to roll back the Cheney/Bush assaults on the rule of law and human dignity is now almost four years behind us; the second best time is now. For too long, the president of the United States was held hostage to the last administration's rearguard, protecting torturers from prosecution and keeping potentially innocent men incarcerated. The American people voted for change, and we mean to have it. Now that he is no longer running for office, perhaps president Obama is finally free to deliver.
