Mukasey

When I was in Vietnam so many years ago (artillery) I sometimes wondered what I would do if I thought I was going to be captured. Stories of torture and atrocity were common place and I wondered whether or not I could withstand such things. It never came to that, but there were times I was pretty scared.

I've read the accounts of many who were captured and tortured. While I know the hope of returning to their loved ones and home sustained those brave soldiers, I also know somewhere in their minds they were also comforted and rebelliously sustained knowing they held the high moral ground and that their captors would someday be punished for their crimes.

Why would I or should I vote for someone who can not answer a yes or no question?
If we are mad because Mukasey will not answer a yes or no question on whether or not waterboarding is torture, then why would we support a presidential candidate, who is going to inherit all of these powers of Bush, if they won't answer a yes or no question. The last time we had a unitary executive this strong, it resulted in Nixon resigning and new laws like FISA being established. This time, (if we get to the elections - Hello Pakistan) the next president is going to be in charge of an executive branch of government that is more powerful than ever. WE need to ensure that the next president is straightforward and honest.
This is why we should not support Clinton - she is triangulating and I don't know what deal she has made with Rupert Murdoch. It is the same reason why we should not support Mukasey for the Attorney General.
