Mukasey “Would Feel That” Waterboarding Would be Torture If Done to Him
Posted by stoptorture on January 30th, 2008
Senator Edward Kennedy: “Would waterboarding be torture if it was done to you?”
Attorney General Michael Mukasey: “I would feel that it was.”
Despite that, Mukasey still refuses to answer whether waterboarding is torture and is prohibited. A portrait of George Orwell indeed hangs on his wall at the Department of Justice. Good old doublethink.
See the exchange at TPM Muckraker.

Mukasey’s performance before the Senate was intolerable — and a further disgrace to our nation. The time has come to call for his resignation.
