Of course not. Easier to believe whatever Bush and Cheney tell you and parrot that back than to stand on your own two feet as we would expect someone in the Justice Dept. to behave. This trip is a joke and a slap in the face to the innocent men being held without recourse. This place is a shameful example of what happens when power-hungry men take over the White House. I see more of the same happening with Obama or McCain-both are willing to either stay in Iraq or go right back. No change in policy whatever from either of them. Wake up America-Hillary really IS the only one who can change Washington.

Hopefully they will waterboard him to let him determine if it is torture or just one of Limbaugh's college pranks. After months to figure it out, Mukasey isn't capable of deciding for himself so this is a great chance. Great!

Mukasey is just a political pawn, he'll tell the public and congress exactly what the Bush Administration wants them to hear, that nothing unethical is going on in Guantanamo bay. What would be really convincing is if he had himself waterboarded, just like the journalist from fox. I don't expect anything to come out of this really.

At least when the shoe falls, Mukasey can't argue he had no knowledge of how we were sponsoring a concentration camp in Cuba. I hope these people in the administration that have tarnished our nation and the constitution answer for their crimes and treason in the court of law. Isn't this why we have impeachment?

This represents a change which is good--too bad Bush didn't learn not to meddle until the sunset of his 2nd term. Oh well, slow learner better than no learner. Open government-and truthfulness is something we will definitely see when McCain is elected. I'm glad to see this guy isn't just being an "appointee" hack like so many of Bush's team.
