HLS's Goldsmith A War Criminal: House Judiciary Comm. Report
-----Original Message----- From: Boyle, Francis Sent: Friday, December 23, 2005 7:04 PM To: 'AALSMIN-L@lists.ubalt.edu' Cc: Lawrence Summers (lawrence_summers@harvard.edu) Subject: HLS's Goldsmith A War Criminal:House Judiciary Comm.Report Importance: High
From The Constitution in Crisis, Report of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee Democratic Staff, page 164:
" There is also substantial evidence that then Attorney General Ashcroft and then White House Counsel Gonzales bear responsibility for documented, unlawful removal of detainees from Iraq in contravention of the War Crimes Act. Among other things, these individuals appear to have requested and approved a March 19, 2004 legal memorandum {written by now Harvard Law School Professor Jack Goldsmith} which, according to intelligence officials "was a green light" for the CIA to improperly remove detainees from Iraq."
Nevertheless, when the Washington Post published Goldsmith's criminal memorandum on its web-page, HLS Dean Kagan, responding thereto, publicly boasted how "proud" she was to have hired this notorious war criminal. Kagan must be fired at HLS Dean. Harvard must place Goldsmith on paid administrative leave for the good of the Institution. Harvard must not permit a notorious war criminal to teach its students, let alone train Lawyers, Members of the Bar and Officers of the Court. If you agree with me, then simply forward this email message to Harvard President Lawrence Summers as indicated above.
