To think that we are supposed to believe that Mukasey doesn''t know enough about waterboarding to say whether it is torture (even though every civilized country in the world has agreed to that classification)reaks of historical contempt or ignorance, either of which should disqualify him from being Attorney General. We deserve better. The only reason for his nomination was to preotect Bush/Cheyney/ Gonzalez from being tried as war criminals. But, we are not desperate enough yet to elect a racist like Ron Paul. How about a rational, intelligent, courageous leader with vision to overcome the awful state that the "frat boy" has left us with.

Now, the Dems make me laugh; they want a non-politicized, law-abiding, impartial attorney general yet they won''t vote to confirm him unless he "makes their political day" by making a political, not legal statement, on waterboarding. From my perspective waterboarding is probably torture; but if he is to be our chief legal officer in the US, then he should be acting as the judge he is and not prejudging based on political statements, but rather waiting to obtain the classified information on when waterboarding has occurred and what it truly is before ruling. THAT is what an impartial judge should do; you left-wing loons don''t want someone qualified and impartial you want President Bush to put a left-wing ideologue like Leahy in the AG post.

For the last time; the terrorists at Guantanamo are not US citizens and not "criminals"; they have no business on our soil nor in our court system. They should NOT be tortured, but treated as they have been as enemy combatants (as they are POWs who do not belong to a signatory nation of the Geneva Conventions and do not wear uniforms of soldiers). They should be released at the end of the war (when Osama and Zawahiri surrender and beg our forgiveness). Until then, they should be held just as they are, no trials are required for POWs!! The only people who want them tried here are the ones who claim there is no war; and trials for these terrorists as criminals would fit their political agenda in that regard. Treating the war on terror as a criminal investigation is what brought us 9/11 and inaction after all the attacks we suffered in the 1990''s. Terrorists from foreign nations have NO rights to our civilian legal system, PERIOD!

It''s beyond me why people continue to claim "Our party is better than your''s. Our canidates are more moral than your canidates. Your party sucks" It''s all krap, yet people still carry the banner of these hypocrites. It''s like saying that the bloods (Republicans) are better than the crips (Democrats) Yea, they''re different groups that oppose each other, but they do the exact same thing. Both sides are only interested in what''s in it for them.

Feinstein D CA (spit) and Schumer D NY (spit) and that scumbag Specter R PA (bring up the phlem and spit) - what a bunch of a-moral blowhards!

They just don''t know the difference between right and wrong.

They are always gaming the system.

They are always saying they are for some thing good and voting to support something bad.

We really need better leadership.

I read Mukasey is WORSE than GONZALEZ. The IDIOTS in
congress, especially Diane Feinstein and Charles Schumer will regret they voted for his nomination. But,
once again, these ARE OUR IDIOTS IN CONGRESS!!!!! There
must be something in it for Schumer and Diane Feinstein.
Let''s see Feinstein''s husband is a military contractor.
Hmmmmm.................................
