Mukasey's nomination and the sudden opposition to "waterboarding"

The same Congress that allowed and enabled Bush's excesses for years now claims to find Mukasey's support for those abuses intolerable.

The letters thread is now closed.

Hey White! Was that you who howled at the moon last night? Be more considerate, please, we need peace, quiet, rest, and blessed sleep. We dear sheep.

I went to bed and planned to not turn the computer on today. Then I heard the Moon howl ricochet back from Mr. White.

Then I thought: I'll read the other 43- million other-saner blogs to search for a more optimistic one than Salon to read.

The ruckus did not sound like a sweet Mona howl that woke me. Mr. White howls at the moon and drinks beer? A mortal crime. Ms. Pedinska hops in a orange pick-ump's window truck with Mr White and drinks good wine from a soggy paper cup? Mr. White, you got some dang good taste.

I woke smelling stink-bombs. Pedinska is as nice as Ms. Sweet Daisey Dukes. I bet if you asked dazed Pedinska she would show you how to finger paint pink on the windshield or the computer screen window.

Gals like her and others are around, I hear, but I can't be lucky as Mr. White. You two can howl better than a wolf at the moon. Pedinska is mighty skinny. Her bones stick out. She makes me want to join the Curves spa workout place and watch Foxy-news on a treadmill. Me getting fat.

After meeting Ms Daisey and reading her stooped comments here, it's wise to drink pasteurized skim goat milk and be more lean. I gonna ask her to come bye and teach me to cut, paste, and finger paint my house windows some day. If she wears those shorter-shorts, and even if she borrows them from s**otter, it's okay with me. I want to see her get inside a pick-up truck too via a window.

My truck battery needs to be charged. Listening to the Beverly Hills quintet in hind-quarter duets in the woods is a bad idea. Ya's need a hot-shot then. Glenn should send Pedinska to the barn with Pete-the-hen, and learn to cockle like a duck.

Mr. White, have some courtesy for the sleeper at night, okay.

Warning! Danger! Warning! Danger!

"When Bush says: "9/11-AlQaeda-Terrorism-GiveMeX," Democrats always ensure that he gets "X.""

The danger of letting Bush and the Neocons continue with this radicalism, is that it has only been in response to 2 towers falling and 3000 deaths.

If something bigger than 9/11 happens, then they will take over the country.

Someone needs to repeatedly say that sacrificing liberties, sacrificing habeas corpus, instigating torture, etc. is a victory for the terrorists!

Terrorists - through Bush and the Neocons - are changing America!

KORNFUSED!

This entire regime deserves to be lined up in front of a wall and shot for war crimes.

Vote Castro/Chavez in 2008! Ron Paul won't do it! American Sovereignity!

I don’t need to tell you that our American way of life is under attack. We see it all around us — every day — and it is up to us to save it.

The world’s elites are busy forming a North American Union. If they are successful, as they were in forming the European Union, the good ‘ol USA will only be a memory! The UN wants to confiscate our firearms and impose a global tax. The UN elites want to control the world’s oceans with the Law of the Sea Treaty! That's like the Geneva Convention!

Scum of the earth!

The dems who will vote to confirm this republican weasel are nothing more than rapist of the Constitution! I and 14 others who previously walked and called in support of dems will never vote for another, in fact we are going to vote straight ticket repugnet party. At least they are honest about screwing our country. What a bunch of worthless scum!

You are so right! I'm so disgusted I'm voting the straight Nazi Party Ticket in 2008!

Cheezerz can haz bak tha good ole dayz?

Cheezers...Oh brother. Cue the violins.

We are now more careful of human life than at any time in history.

In 1770's London (and presumably the colonies) the punishment for a felony such as stealing a hankerchief was hanging. There was also whipping, the pillory (stress positioning), branding, forced labor or service in the military, exile to a penal colony, and the occasional burning at the stake. And that was for the citizens!

Feel the fear, feel the hatred

shooter: I don't know how you can make that balance out in favor of people who have declared us unworthy of living, as part of their belief system.

Interestingly, that is precisely what Osama bin Laden said about about the "Jews and Crusaders" in his 1998 fatwah (http://www.mideastweb.org/osamabinladen2.htm).

It is thoughtful of you to go out of your way to point out that your values are the same as Osama's.

Some of us still adhere to principles advanced by Eisenhower in his "Cross of Iron" speech: "No people on earth can be held, as a people, to be enemy, for all humanity shares the common hunger for peace and fellowship and justice." (http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9743.htm).

That is how we can make the balance and we accept your statement that you don't know how as an accurate assessment of your own lack of shared humanity.

The word irony is utterly insufficient to describe the fact that so many of them profess the worship of Jesus, who was tortured to death.

And I also think that every Jewish person in a sane world would express disgust. you began : as a Jew....you are inwardly worst than disgusting.

no Jew, gentile, male, female...

Muslim, Zoroastrian, Christian,

Pagan, butcher, broodmare, candlestick maker, and no-name libeler, orchestra or Solon reader...would have seen anything other than black bile, or a possible ill-drunk in what you had up there that got wisely deleted?

You are very deluded. Maybe the Salon editor will not spare you some shame and re-post it fora world to read? Maybe yes, for your Benito, no? You wrote Jew like this: small 'j' and I say: You are a real nasty bitter JERK. You lash out much disgust.

I've not been Jewish in birth or belief, but in some vicarious manner, I try to identify with, blacks, Jews, Tater pickers, Polish, and any person who suffers as a consequence of hate spiels. Your a master hate monger. Maybe you inherited much pain? Stop inflicting more pain. Years ago I was an agrarian on a Kibutz in Israel. So, I am ot hating Jewish people. You hate yourself? For sundry reasons unknown to me...something is very wrong in this American society, I agree.
