More on Mukasey and Torture

Here's a short article from Harper's which further dampens any enthusiasm you might have had for this man called Mukasey and that goes double if he did what this article says he did: give assurances to several high mucky-muck Federalist Society Republicans that he will not appoint a special prosecutor and that he will toe

"...the Administration’s line on “the Program,” that he would continue to protect those who authored the program with the cloak of an Attorney General opinion keeping them safe from prosecution....."

What a rascal. But aren't these guys just fooling themselves if they think they are going to avoid prosecution forever? Won't the next administration, as demanded by the People, appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the shenanigans of these (to use a Bush Senior phrase) yahoos? I sure hope so. Remember, truth will out, to quote John Dean and Bill Shakespeare.
