O argumento para Prosecuting oficiais de Bush
Quinta-feira, março 5o, 2009
Por Daphne Eviatar | O comitê Judiciary do Senate “que começa à verdade através de um Commission de inquérito Nonpartisan” reuniu esta manhã para considerar o sensor. Proposta de Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) para uma sorte da “do commission verdade e do reconciliation”. O hearing estava cheio de todas as indicações predictable, elevadas dos supporters illustrious sobre porque um commission promoveria a compreensão do pessoa americano de nossos nação após e valores verdadeiros, e demonstra também ao mundo nosso compromisso à verdade e à justiça - a maioria de que eu concordo com. Mas o que era a maioria de surpreender era que os republicanos do Senate e suas testemunhas, no processo de rasgar distante a idéia, feito o caso o mais forte me se ouviram contudo para porque o departamento de justiça deve prosecute oficiais sênior anteriores da administração de Bush. Sensor. O Specter de Arlen, republicano do comitê do ranking, após ter anotado sua sustentação precedente para a revisão judicial do programa do surveillance do terrorista de administração de Bush, consultou às divulgações recentes do escritório de memorandos legais dos conselhos como potencial suportar o argumento para prosecutions. “Você teve algumas divulgações rather startling, com o publicity em dias recentes aproximadamente incomun-ao posto o opiniões suave-legais” para justificar ações executivas largas, including o homicídio. “São todos que estão sendo expostos agora,” disse, e anotou que um relatório forthcoming do escritório da responsabilidade profissional no departamento da justiça exporá provavelmente ainda mais. “Estão começando pisar o que podem divulgar a conduta criminal,” no ele disseram. Melhor que apagando-se “helter-skelter” e conduzir da “uma expedição pesca,” disseram o Specter, “parece-me que nós ought seguir uma ordem regular aqui… se houver uma razão acreditar que estes oficiais do departamento da justiça deram a aprovaçã0 para as coisas que sabem para não ser lawful e sadios, vão após elas.” As testemunhas chamadas para apresentar a oposição republicana à proposta de Leahy fizeram o mesmo ponto. David Rivkin, um oficial anterior do departamento da justiça no Reagan e primeiras administrações de Bush e agora um sócio no padeiro & no Hostetler da empresa da lei, disse que um commission da verdade “é uma idéia profundamente má, uma idéia perigosa, para a política e para mim como um advogado para razões legais e constitutional.” Objetando que o Congress estaria delegando impropriamente seu poder do oversight, e que as testemunhas estariam chamadas para a conduta criminal sem a direita se defender em uma experimentação, disse: “this is to establish a body to engage in what in essence is a criminal investigation of former Bush administration officials,” and that “the subject matter areas, which such a commission would investigate – among them the interrogation and handling of captured enemy combatants and the gathering of electronic intelligence – are heavily regulated by comprehensive criminal statutes, and ensures that the commission’s activities would inevitably invade areas traditionally the responsibility of the Department of Justice.” Jeremy Rabkin, a law professor at George Mason University who also opposes Leahy’s idea, similarly insisted that in the United States, where we have a fully developed legal system, prosecutions — not truth commissions — are the appropriate course. A truth commission is something that countries like South Africa and Chile have had, not something we should do here, he said. “In those countries they had to have commissions because they couldn’t have prosecutions. Peace was really in doubt in those countries … they had to trade off prosecutions for peace. We’re not in that situation. If people think we need to have prosecutions, we should have prosecutions.” Proponents of the truth commission idea, meanwhile, while not ruling out the idea of prosecutions, saw a truth commission as serving a different, and broader, purpose. But it was surprising that, at a hearing cautiously called to discuss “a nonpartisan commission of inquiry,” we heard the strongest case yet for the prosecution of former Bush administration officials — being made by Republicans.
