Patrick Leahy actually said...

The failure to prosecute those guilty of torture, genocide, and other war crimes makes it more likely that such crimes will be repeated.

We need to make sure that these cases are aggressively and proactively investigated and prosecuted.

It is absolutely unacceptable that this is the only human rights case that has been filed by the DOJ.

By ensuring these human rights violators are punished, we send the message that the United States is not a safe haven for abusers.
