...could save thousands? According to a CNN/USA Today poll late last year, 45% of Americans surveyed supported torture to prevent attacks. Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz has endorsed the issuance of "torture warrants" in the rarest of instances. While ethicists remain squeamish at the prospect of torturing low-level al-Qaeda recruits who probably aren't privy to life-sparing information, the stakes may be different in Zubaydah's case. Anthony D'Amato, a professor at Northwestern University School of Law who has defended a doctor charged with genocide, finds torture legally reprehensible but sees some moral wiggle room when...

So thoroughly have the Khmer Rouge seeped into Cambodian society?Hun Sen himself was a low-level commander?that many fear a U.N. trial could plunge the country back into a civil war that only ended...
Well-paid enron executives sold their inflated stock for millions, while low-level employees were prevented from selling theirs [NATION, Jan. 21]. This would be criminal if the executives knew the company was hiding huge debt. The problem is, we have seen this before.
