Jesse Jackson Jr. Slams Mayor Daley

The Chicago Sun-Times reports on reaction from a just released report on police torture in Chicago.Mayor Daley was States Attorney at the time when victims were being tortured:

Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., a potential mayoral challenger, said Daley "should be held accountable, if not by law, then certainly politically" for failing to act on a February 1982 letter mailed to him by then-Police Supt. Richard Brzeczek, passing along information about a suspect possibly being abused by police.

"If people knew then what we know now, Daley would never have been elected mayor in the first place," Jackson said. "He must now give a full explanation of his actions as state's attorney. . . . There needs to be an investigation to determine whether or not the process itself that delayed these revelations were deliberate in order to allow the statute of limitations to expire."

We usually disagree with Jesse Jackson Jr.But,it's hard to argue with what he said.Just because everyone in Chicago is a Democrat doesn't make torture right.I guess Democrats in Chicago, didn't seem to mind African-Americans being tortured.
