Kevin, we should enjoy this moment when I couldn't agree with you more. Personally, I'm not any more enoamored of Hillary CVlinton having the authority to torture people than I am W, but the point is, the United states should play legalese with the idea. It's sickening that we are a torture nation and doubly sickening that IF that's truly what people think we should be they don't have the balls to say "Yes. WE are a nation that wuill torture people if we feel it's in our best interests"

No one has aksed Mukasey to say if what we are dpoing is torture. He canm't say for certain what we've been doing yet. He's been asked if waterboarding is torture, and his refusal to answer the question is cowardice.

He's willing toi call it repugnant but he can't say if it's legal? Bullshit. Take a stand and he should get an up or down vote. Refuse to and he should be thrown out at committee.
