To the Editor:
The U.S. took a welcome step towards rejoining the community of civilized nations when president Obama renounced what had been our policy of torture. But a crime that is systematically not prosecuted is illegal only on paper. Our constitution provides for the separation of Powers. The paper form of our Law is entrusted to Congress. It remains for the president to "take care that the Laws be faithfully executed".
