Mukasey Refuses to Say that Waterboarding Should Be Outlawed

[Communist2012]

he's a question evading jew looking out for his own career .. what is so surprising to people ?

[bobgnote1]

Earth to TWA Flight T! Brits burned DC, Madison threw in over illegal establishment, letting GONY get in, Lincoln got shot, US drifted into a secret treaty with Victoria, who invaded Palestine, 1882. 1893 US invasion of Hawaii proved a secret treaty, WHICH STARTED BOTH WWI AND WWII, tardies. La Palma and Atlantic and Pacific trenches will spit tsunamis at you, over waterboarding for Israel, when JEWS ARE FROM ETHIOPIA and then from THE PURPLE GANG or NATUREI KARTA, not both. 360.yahoo/bobgnote

A real disappointment! Is this why we seek higher academia - to be able to take a question round and round in circles?

[Soulrazr]

9/11 was an Inside Job. It opened the floodgate for every degradation we are seeing now. Coincidence?

[Darusdei]

well its nice to see torture compared to a episode of 24 where jack bauer is fighting to prevent the armagedon... if ur opinion is that waterboardin isnt torture or tortue is fine... you might just want to get the rope...

[776281]

This country is going bankrupt, morally and financially. We have given away our freedoms and the high moral ground, THe USA was the best now just not as bad as the worst.

[Alcervic]

None of this made ABC,NBC or CBS's evening news.I guaranty you not one in a thousand americans can give you 10 seconds on waterboarding and its international implications.

[JHinWA]

Congratulations Schumer this was your guy. How ironic that he wont even now answer your question promoting your statuate, along with your accomplice in this disaster, Feinstein. Americans will recall and remember that it was YOU and Feinstein that bought this clowns lies that he would "get back to" us or you on if waterboarding was torture. You and Feinstein pushed him through, and now thanks to ONLY you 2 we are stuck with this sick joke.

[sanarkhos]

Honest question: Do you think he cares?

I doubt many of his voters even know this.

[JHinWA]

well then the obligation falls on us to inform them doesn't it? what point is there to go around complaigning and cursing everyone as you do. why don't you try doing something to effect positive change?

[sanarkhos]

LOL! Schumer asking Mukasey to be a leader! PRICELESS!!!

I tell you what Schumer, why don't YOU BECOME THE LEADER? Why don't YOU hold Mukasey in contempt of Congress and get some answers?

Fuck all you Democrats! This is just a SHOW for DIP-SHIT MORONS who continue to vote STRAIGHT TICKET!

Priceless. Ill expect judges asking witnesses to rule on cases next.

[ahuestis]

Are you an American?

[sanarkhos]

Yea, why?

[dafttool]

It's amazing how Bush keeps finding morally bankrupt people to do his evil bidding. Waterboarding was torture in WW2 when it was done against Americans by the Japanese and it was torture during the Spanish Inquisition. 9/11 changed nothing when it comes to the definitions of torture, yet it is used as an excuse to destroy the very principles this country was founded upon.

[Ender1zero1]

In 1947 the United States convicted Japanese Officer Yukio Asano to 15 years hard labor for among other things waterboarding, this is not a new issue we knew it was torture then we know it is torture now. Stop playing games, do the right thing, surely someone in the House or Senate still has some moral fiber unbrought bribed or purchased by a lobby.

[cobwebhead]

It was also used in the Spanish Inquisition, by the Gestapo in WWII, and by the Khmer Rouge. During the Vietnam War, an American soldier was court-martialled for water boarding a detainee.

BTW, the Geneva Conventions ban all forms of "coercive interrogation".

My heart goes out to future American captives of foreign armies.

[Ender1zero1]

"My heart goes out to future American captives of foreign armies."

I hear ya kinda hard to claim the moral high ground when our leaders threw it away and once it's gone there really is no going back, Thanks Mr. Bush and Co.

[mfyyre]

This is cute. Schumer was one of the two along with Feinstein that voted for Mukasey.

I wish I got paid to talk and lie like these idiots.

[poop121]

This is surreal. shouldn't he already have an opinion on its legality? Isn't this issue over a year old? Bring the people that he needs to "talk to" into the Senate, and fucking talk to them and get an opinion, you asshole. What a lame way of evading the question...

[sanarkhos]

Do you expect the Democrats to hold him in contempt? No? Well then why the hell would he give an opinion!

[stevenmirelague]

do these senators actually fight for anything or do they just complain and beg Bush administration officials for table scraps?

as noble as their questions are, ive watched these guys for seven years and theyve never accomplished anything that stops Bush.

[quicksite]

true. completely true. beyond sad. their incompetence is repugnant to me.

[sanarkhos]

Charges of incompetence presume they're actually there to hold people giving testimony to account.

This is a show for voters back home. Bark, but don't bite. After all, the Democrats will own it ALL soon enough, so why indigt the system?

[thielenm]

thats because they are all owned by the same big corporations. different sides? definitely not.

[mikie1973]

let him try it see what he think then ..he is such a butt plug

[CitizenWorm]

Earlier one of them basically asked him that. The questions was something along the lines of, "would it be torture if it was done to you?"

I think it was Durbin who asked that.

[quicksite]

Kennedy asked that question of him. Then let the A.G. ramble on for 5 more minutes skating over the question. You could tell Kennedy just was too damn sick and tired of hearing extended bullshit that he more or less detached completely, knowing full well the A.G. is a repugnant piece of shit shill for Republican policy makers

[F4O4U4R4S]

all mukasey has to do is interview someone that has actually been waterboarded by the perpatrators of this criminal act, or mukasey should be waterboarded himself, and then ask him his opinion, if he is still alive.

[hypnofan35]

Shouldn't executive be able to torture the peons and not be turtured themselves? What the heck, let us torture some executives for the purpose of principle and so we can get them to spill. That would be a party. Half time at the super bowl would be good.

[alnewberry]

It's nice to see Schumer has a conscience at least when a Republican is in office, because I remember him being a staunch defender of Clinton's BATF's actions when they used CS gas on women and children in WACO.

[Shultzgti]

This is BS! C,mon folks, think about it! These men are U.S. Senators. If they really wanted to get the truth out of this weasel, all they have to do is legislate a bill to make what he's doing illegal. Yes, Bush may veto it, but still, they should try legislation.

[EricIndiana]

Ethically and morally he wants us to think he does not support it with his silence.

But odds are he is Skull and Bones and waterboards his dog for kicks.

[kimlea69]

War is for warrior the decission should be left to them,make better warrios....Kim

[copcorona]

Wow, this the best reality show ever
