The sad decline of Michael Mukasey
His reputation for integrity was meant to restore credibility to the Justice Department. Instead, his remarks on waterboarding show that he, like Alberto Gonzales, has let the White House call the shots.
By Sidney Blumenthal [2007-11-01]

  • These guys are not conservatives, even if that is the label they give their dictatorial radicalism.

    Blumental writes: “While Mukasey espouses conservative views upholding an expansive interpretation of the executive . . . .”

    One of the problems with the current radicals who call themselves conservatives is that the views they espouse are the exact opposite of principled conservative views. True conservatives have always been particularly suspicious of excessive executive power.
