Huh?

This from the President:
I believe that the questions he’s been asked are unfair. He’s not been read into the program — he has been asked to give opinions of a program or techniques of a program on which he’s not been briefed. I will make the case — and I strongly believe this is true — that Judge Mukasey is not being treated fairly.
HUH? The guy is up for approval as Attorney-General and he hasn't had a full security check? Is that what we're to believe? Or he has had a security check and hasn't passed? Or he has passed, but they are keeping the vital torture memos from him--even after the questions that the Senate has asked? Can you believe that? Can ANY well-meaning person believe that?

Or is it just another one of Bush's lies?

It seems that if the nominee opposes waterboarding and gets confirmed he would have to indict his sponsors for breaking the law.

If the law makes waterboarding illegal--as it clearly does--he should indict his sponsors whether he opposes the practice or not. But if he does not oppose the practice he does not deserve the post.
