By Ann Woolner人工神經網絡伍爾納 The season of forgiveness is here, and federal felons everywhere are hoping some of it will alight on them.本賽季的寬恕在這裡，和聯邦重罪各地都希望一些將他們下車。 The period from about Thanksgiving until precisely noon on Jan. 20, is prime time for這一時期從感恩節到中午12時正是1月20日，是黃金時間的 pardons赦免 in a president’s last term.在總統的最後一個任期。 Junk-bond baron垃圾債券大王 Michael Milken邁克爾米爾肯 wants forgiveness, ex- WorldCom chief要寬恕，前世界首席 Bernard Ebbers伯納德埃伯斯 a shorter prison term.較短的刑期。 More than 2,000 applications have flooded the White House and the Justice Department, most from run-of-the-mill crooks.超過2000個申請，淹沒在白宮和司法部，大部分從運行的以1500萬美元的騙子。 Then there are those people not yet charged, much less convicted, who nervously look for pardons, too.然後，還有人尚未起訴，定罪少得多，誰緊張地尋找赦免了。 Suspecting the future might bring indictments, those within President懷疑未來可能帶來的起訴書，這些在總統 George W. Bush美國總統布什 ’s administration who may have broken laws to carry out Bush- Cheney policies could use the boss’s protection.的管理誰可以打破法律進行布什和切尼的政策，可以使用老闆的保護。 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正義在美國的律師發射是誰提倡的概念，酷刑是不是酷刑，即使是，它並不一定是非法的。 Will Bush preemptively pardon them?布什先發製人將赦免他們？ If he doesn’t, what are the chances some of them might wind up behind bars?如果他不這樣做，什麼是機會有些人可能會落後風酒吧了？ 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.這將是愉快的把我們回到了恥辱最近，熱切地譴責酷刑作為非美國，並在新的總統和世界渴望信任他，認為它不會再次發生。 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.有什麼可說的寬容過度的公務員，其中一些人冒著生命危險，誰相信他們是在保護自己的民族，即使滑冰接近法律的邊緣。 ‘Not Even Past’ '甚至不過去的' The problem with just moving on is, as這個問題只有移動的是，作為 William Faulkner威廉福克納 put it, “The past is not dead.所說的那樣， “在過去是沒有死。 In fact, it’s not even past.”事實上，甚至沒有過去。 “ 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.我們不能指望敵人的尊重反酷刑的法律當他們捕捉我們的一些球員，如果我們無視這些同樣的法律。 “It’sa question of protecting future military personnel in future conflicts,” says “這是一個問題，保護未來的軍事人員在未來衝突中說， ” Scott Horton斯科特霍頓 , a New York lawyer to whom military lawyers turned when they couldn’t get the ear of the civilian leaders at the Pentagon.紐約律師向誰把軍隊律師當他們無法取得的耳朵的文職領導人在五角大樓。 Now he writes for Harper’s magazine, often on torture.現在，他寫的哈珀的雜誌，常常折磨。 Nor can we allow to rest undisturbed the precedent Bush set for his successors.我們也不能讓休息不受干擾的先例布什為他的繼任者。 We can’t simply forget that an administration assumed it had authority to violate the law and human rights.我們不能簡單地忘記，一個政府承擔了權威違反國際法和人權。 When the torture at Abu Ghraib prison was當酷刑阿布格萊布監獄是 exposed暴露 in 2004, then-Defense Secretary在2004年，當時的美國國防部長 Donald Rumsfeld拉姆斯菲爾德 told a Senate committee he should be held accountable, if only because it “occurred on my watch.”告訴參議院的一個委員會，他應該追究，如果不僅是因為它“發生在我的手錶。 ” Lack of Accountability缺乏問責制 Held accountable?追究責任？ Rumsfeld stayed on the job for another two years without so much as a reprimand from the president.拉姆斯菲爾德留下的工作，還有兩年沒有這麼多的譴責的總統。 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.這是猶如酷刑，造成至少一人，侮辱他人帶來了恥辱，美國沒有足夠的理由來踢他的五角大樓。 There has to be some sort of accountability for what happened.必須有某種形式的問責制，發生了什麼。 I am not talking about vengeance or political retribution.我不談論報復或政治報復。 I mean a somber, thorough look at what happened and how to make sure it doesn’t again.我的意思是一陰沉，徹底看看到底發生了什麼，如何確保不會再次。 If, in the course of that, evidence turns up criminal conduct, we can take it from there.如果在這一過程中，證據變成了犯罪行為，我們可以從那裡。 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.我不是特別擔心懲罰誰剝奪審訊被拘留者的衣服，強迫他們到扭曲造成了幾個小時的時間，清洗下來和冷藏他們。 True Investigation真正的調查 Nor am I focused on those who waterboarded我也集中在這些誰waterboarded Khalid Sheikh Mohammed哈立德謝赫穆罕默德 , 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.舉例來說，以使阿爾蓋達領導人認為他是溺水，或誰麻醉飛往嫌疑人的秘密中央情報局網站或國家，如埃及，更多的專家酷刑。 (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訴上漲或下跌的路線，取決於一個真正的調查結果顯示。 ） 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.以上歸零的審訊中，我感興趣的是誰宣布這種行為的法律在面對明確的法律，禁止它。 This crowd includes former White House Counsel這個人群包括前白宮法律顧問 Alberto Gonzales阿爾韋托岡薩雷斯 , Rumsfeld, some of Rumsfeld’s top aides and a slew of lawyers at the White House, the Justice Department and the Pentagon.拉姆斯菲爾德的一些拉姆斯菲爾德的高級助手和一連串的律師在白宮，司法部和國防部。 One of them,其中， Jay Bybee傑拜比 , who used to run the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel, now works as a federal appeals court judge. ，誰用來執行司法部的辦公室法律顧問，現在是聯邦上訴法院法官。 They crafted memoranda that said interrogators could essentially ignore the Geneva Conventions, international treaties and US law barring torture.他們製作的備忘錄中說審訊基本上可以無視日內瓦公約，國際條約和美國法律禁止酷刑。 They said the president can authorize it in time of war, even though he can’t legally.他們說，總統可以授權它在戰爭時期，儘管他不能合法。 And they laid out a defense for those interrogators who engage in torture, bogus as that argument was.他們制定了國防那些審問誰從事酷刑，假作為這一論點是。 Wise Counsel明智忠告 To accomplish this, they had to reject the wise and persistent counsel of career military lawyers and leaders.要做到這一點，他們已經拒絕明智的和持續的律師職業軍人的律師和領導人。 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.這些專家們堅持一次又一次，在允許酷刑，政府律師將觸犯法律，使酷刑更可能的被俘美軍士兵，使敵人的招聘材料，造成無法彌補的損害美的聲譽。 Writing a bad legal opinion doesn’t make the author a criminal conspirator.寫作一個壞的法律意見並沒有作者的犯罪陰謀。 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.但另一個問題，如果一名律師的職責是指導政府代理人在法律的行為，而不是寫的備忘錄旨在歪曲了法律和給予掩護非法行為。 So far, none of the investigations have led to a definitive account of what happened, though more are under way.到目前為止，沒有任何的調查，導致了最終的帳戶到底發生了什麼，但更正在進行之中。 If none produce a complete picture, the next president should empanel a commission that will.如果沒有產生一個完整的圖片，下屆總統應empanel一個委員會，該委員會將。 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.無論是通過充分披露的或實際的起訴，必須承認過去的罪孽，決心不再重複他們和問責制，任何罪人。 Have Your Say: Bush Bailout for Rumsfeld, Torturers Might Be Next 你說：布什拉姆斯菲爾德紓困，劊子手可能是下一個 Please read our請仔細閱讀我們的 posting guidelines
