to the Editor: Attorney General Mukasey is a careful man. He took great care notto judge what he didn't know in his confirmation hearings. He tookgreat care not to claim to know what he hadn't seen. In light of therole of White House lawyers in the C.I.A tapes issue, his insistencethat he knows of no reason that would justify a special prosecutorsuggests that he has been careful to keep his eyes shut. That mayserve the White House well, but it doesn't serve or protect theconstitution to which he is sworn. While the case for a crime isunproven, the evidence of a cover-up is mounting rapidly.Barry Levine1142 Brown AveLafayette, CA 94549510 220 6948
