"Legal experts caution that if Mukasey called it torture, that could effectively be an admission that the U.S. engaged in war crimes. It could also commit him to prosecuting U.S. officials even before he takes office."
DoJ Official Experienced Waterboarding, Told WH It Is Illegal, Was 'Forced Out'
Last night, ABC World News reported that in 2004 then-acting assistant attorney general Daniel Levin was so concerned about the administration's use of waterboarding that he went to a military base near Washington and underwent the procedure himself.

When are the Democrats going to use the power of the majority to finally start swatting down the President and make him accountable? I know we can't impeach him but at least we can stop giving him everything that he wants.

Shame on them! I say waterboard them all and see if that meets their criteria of torture.

Another SAD day for America. We are sliding closer to the edge of the cliff all the time.

"The 11-8 vote came after two key Democrats accepted his vow to enforce any law Congress might enact against waterboarding"
The Democrats could have stopped hisd nomination, but didn't showing more sense than a lot of posters here.
Let's face it for 1 more year the repugnants got their main man in the White House &Mukasey seems to be the best we're going to get. Schumer the Dem neocons love to hate was the one who nominated him.
At least Mukasey has not been nurtured by ingesting the droppings of Bush & Dick. He seems to be more independant than the last two jerks. & as far as the waterboarding is concerned I think he took the proper course legallly - I watch L&O & Boston Legal so I'm really up on that stuff.

Stupid people. Mukasey said if Congress passed a law making water boarding illegal, he'd abide by it. Son of a bi*ch! It already IS illegal!!! And this congress isn't going to get a GD thing passed! The freaking cons will stop any such legislation with a filibuster! Or the freak we have as a president, will veto it! Dumb ass democrats!

No problem, just add 'Feinstein' and 'Schumer' to the list of names for eventual trial on charges of treason and crimes against humanity.

Call her and tell her she's a traitor. She's a disgusting, anti-American fascist, and we're never going to vote for her again. (She won't know if you're a real constituent or not.) How stupid is she? She doesn't even think waterboarding is torture.

Jews for Torture: Mukasey, Schumer and Feinstein
... Yesterday's decision by Democratic senators Charles Schumer and Diane Feinstein to support Michael Mukasey as the next attorney general will be a most interesting test of media integrity. Mukasey refused to denounce torture as a means of persuading enemy combatants to comply, which means that it may well become a means of persuading American citizens to comply some day. Mukasey has been one of Bush's terror judges, helping the administration to prop up its policy against Islamofascism. Mukasey has loyally supported the undermining of civil liberties and constitutional restraints on the unitary executive. In short, Mukasey is a neocon thug.
Schumer and Feinstein represent New York and California Jewish Zionist power brokers, and Mukasey is a Jewish Zionist of the same sort as Joe Lieberman and Michael Chertoff...
