excellent!

now, take a look:

he is worried about cheney and
bush being charged with war crimes
[especially in europe, or the u.n.],
for explicitly endorsing a
procedure teddy roosevelt, and
richard nixon, considered to be. . .

t o r t u r e.

this attempt to provide legal
“cover” for the administration
is inappropriate — for a jurist,
for any united states attorney
general — but NOT inappropriate
for a PRIVATE lawyer, retained to
represent the white house.

and that is the fundamental
problem with him: it seems he
has sworn some secret allegiance.

that cannot be supported — but
i still worry about the rank-and-
file at justice, without any
protection for the next 20 or
so months. . .

Military Intelligence agrees JAG that waterboarding is illegal.
The Army manual on interrogation bans torture of prisoners to obtain information as do the “quaint” Geneva Conventions, to quote Fredo.

So what are Schumer, Feinstein and the other Democrats who vote for Mukasey going to say now??
