It might be argued that the officials were simply doing their jobs, providing legal advice for the Bush administration. However, John Strait, a law professor at Seattle University said, "I think there are a slew of potential charges."

Those could include conspiracy to commit felonies, including torture, he suggested.

Bybee also could face impeachment in Congress if lawmakers were so inclined.
Bybee should be required to explain himself under oath, without a deal, to an investigative committee.

If he is guilty of breaking the law, he should be punished.

Don't they teach ethics at BYU Law?
