Reprehensible AG Mukasey Calls Torture "Political" Issue, Not Crime

Attorney General Michael Mukasey is a bum; a unethical, immoral, dishonest, Bushite protecting loyalist bum.  This is a man who should be disbarred for life and in the slammer.

Cut from the same cloth as his equally terrible predecessor, Alberto Gonzalez, Mukasey thinks his job is to protect, cover-up and stonewall for the criminal Bush regime, the American people be damned.

I have written about this dishonorable sleazebag many times (just enter Mukasey, "title and contents" and "all" on the search menu at this site) and it is aggravating to know that because of Senators Feinstein and Schumer's (Schumer even recommended him to the Bush administration) endorsement of his nomination in committee we now have this despicable, crime enabling, anti-Constitution, anti-Geneva Conventions Bushite as AG.

What is the latest outrage from AG "Complicit in Corruption" Mukasey?

From ThinkProgress: "During Attorney General Michael Mukasey’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee today, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) implored Mukasey to make a “clean break” from the Bush administration’s record of allowing possible violations of federal law to go unpunished, urging him to investigate administration officials who authorized torture.

"Mukasey responded by saying that he “cannot and should not” prosecute those individuals because such an investigation would focus on what is “politically acceptable” rather than what is “legal”...

"Torture is not, and has never been, a political issue. The techniques authorized by Bush administration officials are illegal under both U.S. and international law. Less than a year ago, Mukasey himself said the Bush administration’s infamous torture memo was “worse than a sin, it was a mistake.” Mukasey’s refusal to investigate, however, should not be surprising.. Like Gonzales before him, Mukasey does not appear to be concerned with holding government officials accountable for their “sins.”

Mukasey, Bush, Cheney and the White House torture team should be in the dock at The Hague for war crimes
