I never expected to see that during the Bush administration. Attorney general Michael Mukasey actually has a social conscience. But now he's rubbing elbows with the rest of the Bush Administration. I hope his outlook is not polluted by all that concentrated nonsense. I think it's great to have an attorney general with ideals and the capacity to think reasonably.

At a time when he was pressured to make a politically correct response to a volatile question, he refused to cave to the pressure and insisted he would be deliberate in his analysis. He refused to pander to those who threatened to prevent his appointment unless he capitulated precipitously to their view of the "right" answer. Anybody who's willing to stand up to the pontificating windbags, even at the risk of losing a job, probably has the kind of moral and ethical backbone we need as attorney general. He said he wasn't sure because that was the truth. He needed to make sure he fully understood the practice as well as the law. Our laws are not based on who screams the loudest, posts in capital letters, or is most indignant. And we need an attorney general (and judges, for that matter) who understand that.

This man has yet to decide, is Water Boarding is torture. He said at his confirmation that he had not reviewed everything. Now we learn that the CIA tapes of the events have been destroyed. For me, Water Boarding is Torture. This is a crime against humanity. I am waiting for his decision. So are many others. Canada has in it Government right now the task of stating that the USA is a Country that Tortures. They are waiting to vote on that. Who will be proscuted for this the CIA or the Administration? Will we again blame the monkey and let the monkey Grinders go as we did Abu Grad (spelling.) I am happy he has inspiration from his painting. Well let me tell you.
