Bush’s nominee for Attorney General boldly promises to ban “repugnant” activities such as waterboarding if (and only if) he decides that they are illegal, which he can’t decide until he knows the details, which he can’t know until he’s confirmed because he’s not cleared for them and can’t talk about because they’re classified and might “provide our enemies with a window into the limits and contours of any interrogation program we may have in place and thereby assist them in training to resist the techniques we may actually use.” Nine Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee are fine with that.
Bonus bullsh*t The Republicans demand that the Democrats “stop playing politics with the Justice Department.” No, seriously.
