論點為檢控布什官員
星期四, 2009年3月5日
由 Daphne Eviatar | 「有真相的參議院司法委員會的通過一個無黨派質詢委員會」今晨召開考慮參議員。 帕特里克Leahy的(D-Vt。)提議對於有點兒「真相和和解」委員會。 聽力是充分的所有可預測,崇高聲明從傑出支持者關於為什麼委員會會促進對我們的國家的通過和真實值的美國人民的理解,並且給世界展示我們的承諾給真相和正義-多數,其中我同意與。 但什麼最驚奇是參議院共和黨人和他們的證人,在分開剝去想法過程中,做有力的事實我聽見了,為為什麼司法部應該檢控布什政府的前高級官員。 參議員。 Arlen幽靈,等第委員會共和黨人,在注意他的早先支持以後為布什政府的恐怖分子監視節目的司法審查,提到了法律顧問備忘錄辦公室最近透露作為潛在支持論點為起訴。 「您近幾天來有一些相當令人吃驚的透露,以宣傳異常對投入它溫和法律觀點」辯解寬廣的行政行動,包括殺人。 「他們是現在被暴露的全部」,他說,并且注意到,一個即將到來的報告從專業責任辦公室在司法部可能將暴露。 他們「在什麼可以透露犯罪品行」,他開始踐踏說。 而不是去 「繽」和舉辦「審前調查」,說幽靈, 「以我所见那我們應該這裡跟隨規則命令…,如果有理由相信這些司法部官員給了對他們知道不是合法和酣然的事的認同,在他們以後去」。 叫的證人提出共和黨反對對Leahy的提案提出了同一觀點。 大衛Rivkin、一位前司法部官員在裡根和第一布什政府和現在夥伴在律師事務所貝克& Hostetler,認為真相委員會「是一個深刻地壞想法,一個危險想法,為政策和為我作為一位律師為法律和憲法原因」。 反對國會不正當地會委派它的失察力量,并且證人為犯罪品行將被召集,不用權利保護自己在試驗,他說: “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.
