  • More Mukasey questions


    If Mukasey does say now that waterboarding is torture, should that be enough for the Democrats to wave him through? What about his testimony on the presidents power to act outside statutory boundaries with regard to interrogation and wiretapping? And even if Mukasey were to change his tune now on all these fronts, what does that really mean, since his previous statements allign so closely with his record as a judge and his writings? The Democrats were awfully quick to say that his confirmation was virtually assured. Now that's not looking so wise.
