AG MUKASEY FUDGES AGAIN, SAYS HE IS NOT SURE ABOUT WATERBOARDING

Michael Mukasey, the Attorney General of the United States, says that it is a "hard call" to determine whether waterboarding is "torture." What does this say about Mukasey's legal competence? What does this say about his ethics?

We all know waterboarding is indeed torture. If Mukasey is still unsure, I suggest that he volunteer to be waterboarded, and submit to the same treatment which the CIA has applied to the high value targets in its custody. Perhaps then Mukasey could give the public an opinion -either yes or no.

It is disgraceful that the highest ranking legal officer of the United States does not know that waterboarding is torture, and that he thinks it is a "hard case."
