Is this going to be another game of fretting and caving or is Mukasey's confirmation really going to depend on him being willing to unequivocally state
that water boarding is torture. I mean, I certainly like me some Democrats playing hardball, but it should be noted that if the incoming Attorney General says that procedures the Bush administration has embraced are torture, in violation of statute, constitution, and international law, that sorta means he's obligated to start prosecuting people.
