Abstract

I appear today solely to comment upon Mr. Gonzales's positions regarding three issues on which I have both legal expertise and government experience: the illegality of torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment; the scope of the president's constitutional powers to authorize torture and cruel treatment by U.S. officials; and the applicability of the Geneva Conventions on the Laws of War to alleged combatants held in U.S. custody.
