By Ann Woolner人工神经网络伍尔纳 The season of forgiveness is here, and federal felons everywhere are hoping some of it will alight on them.本赛季的宽恕在这里，和联邦重罪各地都希望一些将他们下车。 The period from about Thanksgiving until precisely noon on Jan. 20, is prime time for这一时期从感恩节到中午12时正是1月20日，是黄金时间的 pardons赦免 in a president’s last term.在总统的最后一个任期。 Junk-bond baron垃圾债券大王 Michael Milken迈克尔米尔肯 wants forgiveness, ex- WorldCom chief要宽恕，前世界首席 Bernard Ebbers伯纳德埃伯斯 a shorter prison term.较短的刑期。 More than 2,000 applications have flooded the White House and the Justice Department, most from run-of-the-mill crooks.超过2000个申请，淹没在白宫和司法部，大部分从运行的以1500万美元的骗子。 Then there are those people not yet charged, much less convicted, who nervously look for pardons, too.然后，还有人尚未起诉，定罪少得多，谁紧张地寻找赦免了。 Suspecting the future might bring indictments, those within President怀疑未来可能带来的起诉书，这些在总统 George W. Bush美国总统布什 ’s administration who may have broken laws to carry out Bush- Cheney policies could use the boss’s protection.的管理谁可以打破法律进行布什和切尼的政策，可以使用老板的保护。 Beyond the wiretappers, the perjurers, the obstructers of justice in the US attorney firings are those who promoted the notion that torture isn’t torture, and even if it is, it isn’t necessarily illegal.除了wiretappers的perjurers的obstructers正义在美国的律师发射是谁提倡的概念，酷刑是不是酷刑，即使是，它并不一定是非法的。 Will Bush preemptively pardon them?布什先发制人将赦免他们？ If he doesn’t, what are the chances some of them might wind up behind bars?如果他不这样做，什么是机会有些人可能会落后风酒吧了？ It would be pleasant to turn our back on the shame of the recent past, fervently denounce torture as un-American and, with a new president and a world eager to trust him, say it won’t happen again.这将是愉快的把我们回到了耻辱最近，热切地谴责酷刑作为非美国，并在新的总统和世界渴望信任他，认为它不会再次发生。 There is something to be said for forgiving the excesses of public servants, some of whom were risking their lives, who believed they were protecting their nation even if skating close to the law’s edge.有什么可说的宽容过度的公务员，其中一些人冒着生命危险，谁相信他们是在保护自己的民族，即使滑冰接近法律的边缘。 ‘Not Even Past’ '甚至不过去的' The problem with just moving on is, as这个问题只有移动的是，作为 William Faulkner威廉福克纳 put it, “The past is not dead.所说的那样， “在过去是没有死。 In fact, it’s not even past.”事实上，甚至没有过去。 “ We can’t expect the enemy to respect anti-torture laws when they capture some of our guys, if we have flouted those same laws.我们不能指望敌人的尊重反酷刑的法律当他们捕捉我们的一些球员，如果我们无视这些同样的法律。 “It’sa question of protecting future military personnel in future conflicts,” says “这是一个问题，保护未来的军事人员在未来冲突中说， ” Scott Horton斯科特霍顿 , a New York lawyer to whom military lawyers turned when they couldn’t get the ear of the civilian leaders at the Pentagon.纽约律师向谁把军队律师当他们无法取得的耳朵的文职领导人在五角大楼。 Now he writes for Harper’s magazine, often on torture.现在，他写的哈珀的杂志，常常折磨。 Nor can we allow to rest undisturbed the precedent Bush set for his successors.我们也不能让休息不受干扰的先例布什为他的继任者。 We can’t simply forget that an administration assumed it had authority to violate the law and human rights.我们不能简单地忘记，一个政府承担了权威违反国际法和人权。 When the torture at Abu Ghraib prison was当酷刑阿布格莱布监狱是 exposed暴露 in 2004, then-Defense Secretary在2004年，当时的美国国防部长 Donald Rumsfeld拉姆斯菲尔德 told a Senate committee he should be held accountable, if only because it “occurred on my watch.”告诉参议院的一个委员会，他应该追究，如果不仅是因为它“发生在我的手表。 ” Lack of Accountability缺乏问责制 Held accountable?追究责任？ Rumsfeld stayed on the job for another two years without so much as a reprimand from the president.拉姆斯菲尔德留下的工作，还有两年没有这么多的谴责的总统。 It was as if the torture that killed at least one man, humiliated others and brought shame to the US wasn’t sufficient grounds to kick him out of the Pentagon.这是犹如酷刑，造成至少一人，侮辱他人带来了耻辱，美国没有足够的理由来踢他的五角大楼。 There has to be some sort of accountability for what happened.必须有某种形式的问责制，发生了什么。 I am not talking about vengeance or political retribution.我不谈论报复或政治报复。 I mean a somber, thorough look at what happened and how to make sure it doesn’t again.我的意思是一阴沉，彻底看看到底发生了什么，如何确保不会再次。 If, in the course of that, evidence turns up criminal conduct, we can take it from there.如果在这一过程中，证据变成了犯罪行为，我们可以从那里。 I’m not especially worried about punishing interrogators who stripped detainees naked, forced them into contorted poses for hours at a time, hosed them down and refrigerated them.我不是特别担心惩罚谁剥夺审讯被拘留者的衣服，强迫他们到扭曲造成了几个小时的时间，清洗下来和冷藏他们。 True Investigation真正的调查 Nor am I focused on those who waterboarded我也集中在这些谁waterboarded Khalid Sheikh Mohammed哈立德谢赫穆罕默德 , for example, to make the al-Qaeda leader think he was drowning, or who drugged and flew suspects to secret Central Intelligence Agency sites or countries like Egypt for more expert torture.举例来说，以使阿尔盖达领导人认为他是溺水，或谁麻醉飞往嫌疑人的秘密中央情报局网站或国家，如埃及，更多的专家酷刑。 (But I wouldn’t rule out prosecution for anyone up or down the line, depending on what a true investigation shows.) （但我不排除任何人起诉上涨或下跌的路线，取决于一个真正的调查结果显示。 ） More than zeroing in on interrogators, I’m interested in those who declared that sort of conduct legal in the face of clear law that forbids it.以上归零的审讯中，我感兴趣的是谁宣布这种行为的法律在面对明确的法律，禁止它。 This crowd includes former White House Counsel这个人群包括前白宫法律顾问 Alberto Gonzales阿尔韦托冈萨雷斯 , Rumsfeld, some of Rumsfeld’s top aides and a slew of lawyers at the White House, the Justice Department and the Pentagon.拉姆斯菲尔德的一些拉姆斯菲尔德的高级助手和一连串的律师在白宫，司法部和国防部。 One of them,其中， Jay Bybee杰拜比 , who used to run the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel, now works as a federal appeals court judge. ，谁用来执行司法部的办公室法律顾问，现在是联邦上诉法院法官。 They crafted memoranda that said interrogators could essentially ignore the Geneva Conventions, international treaties and US law barring torture.他们制作的备忘录中说审讯基本上可以无视日内瓦公约，国际条约和美国法律禁止酷刑。 They said the president can authorize it in time of war, even though he can’t legally.他们说，总统可以授权它在战争时期，尽管他不能合法。 And they laid out a defense for those interrogators who engage in torture, bogus as that argument was.他们制定了国防那些审问谁从事酷刑，假作为这一论点是。 Wise Counsel明智忠告 To accomplish this, they had to reject the wise and persistent counsel of career military lawyers and leaders.要做到这一点，他们已经拒绝明智的和持续的律师职业军人的律师和领导人。 These experts insisted time and again that in permitting torture, government lawyers would be breaking the law, making torture more likely for captured US troops, giving the enemy recruiting material and inflicting irreparable damage to the US’s reputation.这些专家们坚持一次又一次，在允许酷刑，政府律师将触犯法律，使酷刑更可能的被俘美军士兵，使敌人的招聘材料，造成无法弥补的损害美的声誉。 Writing a bad legal opinion doesn’t make the author a criminal conspirator.写作一个坏的法律意见并没有作者的犯罪阴谋。 But it’s another matter if a lawyer whose duty is to guide government agents in behaving legally, instead writes memos intended to distort the law and gives cover for illegal conduct.但另一个问题，如果一名律师的职责是指导政府代理人在法律的行为，而不是写的备忘录旨在歪曲了法律和给予掩护非法行为。 So far, none of the investigations have led to a definitive account of what happened, though more are under way.到目前为止，没有任何的调查，导致了最终的帐户到底发生了什么，但更正在进行之中。 If none produce a complete picture, the next president should empanel a commission that will.如果没有产生一个完整的图片，下届总统应empanel一个委员会，该委员会将。 Whether through full disclosure or actual prosecutions, there must be acknowledgement of past sins, a determination not to repeat them and accountability for any sinners.无论是通过充分披露的或实际的起诉，必须承认过去的罪孽，决心不再重复他们和问责制，任何罪人。 Have Your Say: Bush Bailout for Rumsfeld, Torturers Might Be Next 你说：布什拉姆斯菲尔德纾困，刽子手可能是下一个 Please read our请仔细阅读我们的 posting guidelines
