Editorial: Torture and the Attorneys General

By Sheila Samples

The only information Mr. Mukasey can possibly be lacking is whether Mr. Bush broke the law by authorizing the C.I.A. to use waterboarding ? a judgment that the White House clearly does not want him to render in public because it could expose a host of officials to criminal accountability. Would Mr. Mukasey approve of waterboarding an American soldier? Mr. Bush?s policies increase the danger of that happening.
