Posted by stoptorture on October 17th, 2007
A group of five Harvard Law School faculty members sent a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee last Friday, October 12, 2007, urging Senators to demand that Mr. Mukasey–who faced his first confirmation hearing for the position of Attorney General this Wednesday, October 17, 2007–investigate and punish the authorization, ordering, and use of waterboarding, a technique the U.S. has a history of prosecuting as a war crime.
See the letter here.
