Leahy "Very Concerned" With Mukasey's Answer on Waterboarding

Alexander Bolton, reporting for The Hill, writes: "Michael Mukasey attempted to advance his stalled nomination for attorney general Tuesday by giving Congress a written statement discussing the legality of waterboarding, an interrogation technique that simulates drowning. Mukasey submitted a four-page legalistic discussion that did not give Democrats what they were demanding: a succinct statement on whether waterboarding is akin to torture."
