Comments on: Attorney General Michael Mukasey http://www.connorboyack.com/blog/attorney-general-michael-mukasey Rants and musings about things political, philosophical, and religious.

Mukasey refuses to denounce waterboarding. We all know with a certain amount of surety that the torture techniques at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo (and other black sites run by the CIA) were sanctioned right from the top - - Cheney, Rumsfeld, Gonzales and Bush himself. Since it is pretty certain that these top officials were the ones to OK waterboarding, they MUST nominate another judge who will cover for them on the issue of torture. If another AG were nominated who did NOT condone torture, then Cheney and Bush would open themselves up for prosecution of the war crimes they committed against the Geneva Conventions. FYI, Romney says if he's elected, he'd double the size of Guantanamo and he has also stated that "enhanced interrogation techniques" are OK by him.

Don't expect that anyone he nominates is going to be any better.
