Go Whitehouse. Mukasey using excuse “I was following orders, I had authorization and I am immune from prosecution”

Whitehouse…going to the guts.

Schumer sucking up…what a traitor

but he can’t/won’t address ~~contractors~~paramilitary who may be torturing, because there is no specific language somewhere in a law that specifically says that ~~contractors~~paramilitary (American or foreign) cannot torture in place of or on the orders of the CIA, Military and/or the President.

There, fixed.

Jeebus h christ on a fuckin….

Cornyn now asking Mukasey a question, based on a story in the fcuking New York Post, about how FISA caused a ten-hour delay in searching for a soldier kidnapped by (Al-Q, of course - ’cause anybody in Iraq who doesn’t like us is automatically Al-Q)

72 hour grace period, Senator? General Mukasey?

Nope.

Seems to me that Mukasey said CIA is not torturing and the Military is not torturing, but he can’t/won’t address contractors who may be torturing, because there is no specific language somewhere in a law that specifically says that contractors (American or foreign) cannot torture in place of or on the orders of the CIA, Military and/or the President.

Another thing….several times he said he is “not authorized” to answer some questions asked by Congress. Excuse me? Why isn’t someone all over him for that?

Did Mukasey liken Kennedy’s question to Cicero?

For fucking Mukasey’s waterboarding tricks…

Looking forward to Whitehouse and Schumer and round two, maybe the gloves will come off after they have had time to digest the wet-noodle responses thus far.
