Nan Aron: Bringing Justice to Torturers
Attorney General Eric Holder, writes Alliance for Justice president and founder Nan Aron, is a man on a hot seat that' getting hotter. Holder reportedly is considering authorizing a criminal investigation into the mistreatment of detainees by CIA interrogators, but President Obama has said he does not support a special commission for exploring the Bush administration. And some big, powerful names are sure to come up in any kind of  investigationDick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Alberto Gonzales, George Tenet, John Ashcroft, and Condoleeza Rice. But Aron thinks Holder needs to go even further: While a full-scale investigation of the use of torture by the United States government will stir up passions on both sides, she writes, "t is our only hope for reaching some national consensus on the torture issue."Aron has been a leading voice in public-interest law for more than 30 years, and helped defeat Robert Bork' nomination to the Supreme Court in 1987. Presented by the Town Hall Center for Civic Life.
