Letter "D" » Deborah Pearlstein Quotes
«The questions this case presents go to the heart of our constitutional system, and, if left unanswered, pose significant threats to our troops. These are the first military trials of their kind the United States had conducted since World War II, and we're gratified the court has recognized the need to act.»
Author: Deborah Pearlstein
«We found across the board amazing flaws and failures in the way the investigations were conducted in case after case.»

«The Supreme Court's basic take is that when Congress has said something specific, the president's authority to take action beyond that is at its lowest ebb. This would seem to be right up against that wall. Congress has acted. The president seems to be circumventing it. And that raises an enormous constitutional question.»

«There is a culture of impunity that no one would be held fully accountable for detainee deaths.»
Author: Deborah Pearlstein
«Looking closely at these cases, we found time and again badly flawed investigations, and a lack of command responsibility for what's gone wrong ? especially in cases where victims were tortured to death. The result across the board has been to create a culture of impunity, where no one, especially not command, is held fully accountable for detainee deaths. If the United States is serious about preventing torture going forward, there must be accountability up and down the chain of command.»
Author: Deborah Pearlstein
«Our report finds that there is a gap between policies leadership says it respects on paper, and behavior it actually tolerates in practice. That's not a way to stop torture from occurring, and it's not a winning strategy in the fight against terror.»
Author: Deborah Pearlstein
«Death is a given in wartime. But this isn't about death in the heat of battle; this is about how we treat those already at the mercy of U.S. forces. It's about who is responsible for the policy and practice of the United States.»
