  • Boston College International and Comparative Law Review
    BOSTON COLLEGE INTERNATIONAL AND COMPARATIVE LAW REVIEW Vol. XXXII Spring 2009 No. 2 The Pen, the Sword, and the Waterboard: Ethical Lawyering in the “Global War on Terrorism” The Role of Lawyers in the Global War on Terrorism Michael B. Mukasey [pages 179–186] Abstract: The following article is edited remarks from Attorney General Mukasey’s Commencement address at Boston College Law School on May 23, 2008. His remarks focus on the role and ethics of lawyers in the Global War on Terrorism. Attorney General Mukasey contends that law- yers must faithfully adhere to the law, especially in the national security context where the questions are complex, the stakes are high and the pressures to do something other than adhere to the law are great. At- torney General Mukasey argues that political and public pressure on na- tional security lawyers can lead to “cycles of timidity and aggression,” and that scrutiny of their work, given the threats facing the country fol- lowing September 11, 2001, must be conducted responsibly, with an ap- preciation of its institutional implications. SYMPOSIUM ARTICLES Introduction: Law, Torture, and the “Task of the Good Lawyer”—Mukasey Agonistes Daniel Kanstroom [pages 187–202] Abstract: Following September 11, 2001, there was a challenge to the role of law as a regulator of military action and executive power. Government lawyers produced legal interpretations designed to authorize, legitimize, and facilitate interrogation tactics widely considered to be illegal. This raises a fundamental question: how should law respond to such flawed in- terpretation and its consequences, even if the ends might have seemed necessary or just? This Symposium examines deep tensions between competing visions of the rule of law and the role of lawyers.
