Retired judge and US Attorney General nominee Michael Mukasey has refused to answer the question of whether the interrogation technique known as waterboarding violates US law.  For those of you who don’t know, waterboarding is the interrogation technique where the suspect is strapped to a board and either immersed in water or water is poured on them to simulate drowning.  Congress declared waterboarding illegal in 2006.  So what I want to know is how the fuck can Mukasey NOT say this is against US law?  Oh yeah, because our jit-bag government uses it and other “alternative” interrogation techniques as reported in this CNN.com article:

Bush has acknowledged authorizing the use of “alternative” interrogation techniques against suspected terrorists.

Though his administration insists that it does not torture prisoners, it refuses to reveal which interrogation techniques may be used.

I have an idea, let’s line up Bushy-poo, Cheney, Rice, Mr. Mukasey and all of the other neo-con war-birds who are for these methods and have them undergo “alternative” questioning.  After they are interrogated, we’ll poll them to see if they felt they were tortured.  I would have a hell of lot more respect for them if they just said “hell yes we torture them” than tap dancing around and lying.

 I will leave you with a good quote about torture from Reservoir Dogs, Nice Guy Eddie:

Would you stop it with that shit.  You beat on this prick enough, he’ll tell ya he started the Chicago fire.  That don’t necessarily make it so.
