Mukasey: I may never say if waterboarding is torture.

Thinkprogress:

Earlier this week, ThinkProgress noted that two months into his tenure as Attorney General, Mike Mukasey still would not answer whether waterboarding is torture. The New York Times reports that yesterday, Mukasey hedged even more. “I didn’t say I wouldn’t answer it,” he said at a news conference. “I didn’t say that I would.” When asked about the nomination of torture advocate Steven Bradbury to the Office of Legal Counsel, Mukasey said, “Steve Bradbury is one of the finest lawyers I’ve ever met. … I want to continue working with him.”

Musk Rat only needed to get the votes for the job. Bush/Cheney have given him their orders to stall everyone and act dumb like Gonzales. Musk Rat knows waterboarding is torture because he isn't a dumb man. To listen to him now is only a disgrace to his career. At lease Musk Rat now can add his name to the Worse Administration in the History of America.
