1. This is huge. His declaration that waterboarding is torture opens the door ...

... for prosecution of those who authorized the torture.

4. Now we know that waterboarding is torture....

Let go after the torturer,ie...Bush..Cheney..Rumfield..Rice...and other enablers. I think the list is about 40 solid. Let prosecute, convict and sentence them to a cold miserable cell in a third world country with convicted serial rapists guarding them, forever. :spank:

18. Right. That's what Turley said last night on Rachel

Yes, they got him to say what is patently obvious: that waterboarding is torture. We have a history of law to support that position, so, except for RW kooks, that's not saying anything controversial. The next question, and the one not asked, is more important: so what do we do with those who tortured or ordered torture, then?

19. bingo, they can confirm that waterboarding is torture.

now what, Turley is so right, now what to do with those who committed a crime.

5. Does anyone know who is sitting behind Holder on the left?

his right?

[Pirate Smile]

7. I know his family is behind him and sitting to his right. I liked his story that his son is named

Eric Holder 3rd because he was born on his grandfathers birthday and is named after him, not the Attorney General Designee. They weren't planning on doing that until he was born on that day.

Louis Freeh is there supporting him and also Jim Comey.

8. YES. Without qualification bullshit, and no one is above the law. Great choice for AG.

15. So if the two previous nominees "hedged" on answering

how in the world were they ever sworn in?? How can you hedge on something like torture??

16. BREAKING

The universe is a pretty big place. Sugar tends to be sweet. Monday generally comes after Sunday and it's been reported that it's followed by Tuesday.

Do I get a cookie too?
