Re: What About Mukasy\'s Position on Waterboarding?
It's the only reasonable position. Whether or not waterboarding as practiced by US interrogators is or is not torture depends (IMO at least) heavily on the specifics of the process.
The real question is Congress hasn't done something about waterboarding. They have much greater latitude to ban the process. They could criminalize it just because they found it repugnant. A principled AG, on the other hand, has to follow much stricter guidelines in declaring something unconsitutional.
It's all a political game.
