Mukasey Won’t Say Waterboarding Is Torture But in 1947 the U.S. Called It a War Crime, Sentenced Enemy Officer to 15 Years Hard Labor

Immoral Relativism: George Bush’s nomination of Michael Mukasey for U.S. attorney general — once thought to be smooth sailing — is experiencing a bit of turbulence. The problem is, Mukasey can’t bring himself to say whether or not waterboarding is torture:

During his confirmation hearings earlier this month, Mukasey said he believes torture violates the Constitution, but he refused to be pinned down on whether he believes specific interrogation techniques, such as waterboarding, are constitutional.

“I don”t know what’s involved in the techniques. If waterboarding is torture, torture is not constitutional,” he said.

Hi, Folks:
This simply the best stuff going for why Bush and his minions must be driven from office. Impeachment, heck even possible criminal charges, are going to be the LEAST of these thugs’ concerns: When the general population finds out just HOW BAD it’s gotten, the mob is going to have these goons’ heads on stakes in the middle of their respective towns’ squares! Keep up the good fight!
Sincerely,
Bob Keenan
