It's hard to know where to begin on the sordid Mukasey/Schumer/Feinstein affaire. Mukasey refuses to say whether he believes waterboarding is torture. Yet Feinstein and Schumer announce their support for him as AG.
We might as well support the medieval church inquisitors and all the other torturers throughout the ages. I had thought that the French Enlightenment once and for all established the intellectual condemnation and prohibition of torture in all its cruel manifestations. I guess I was wrong.
And these torturers are not merely limited to George Bush, Dick Cheney or Donald Rumsfeld. Read the statements of some of the Republican candidates, such as Giuliani, Romney and Thompson, supporting these methods of "interrogation" and in Romney's case, Guantanamo. We can gauge how medieval and thwarted their Republican attitude towards life and "democracy" really is.
Surely the Mukasey affaire is not one of America's finest hours.

Here's another shining example of collusion between the democrats and the republicans. Under the veneer of so called differences between these parties, the politicians in both of the major parties seem to stand together, even on issues of importance such as torture.
ReplyDeleteWould the real democrats now stand up and voice their opposition to Schumer and Feinstein.
