Irony award of the year: Bush: Questions to Mukasey on torture "unfair"
Perhaps waterboarding and "stress positions" would be a more "fair" way of questioning the poor fellow.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush defended on Thursday his attorney general nominee Michael Mukasey, who has come under fire from Senate Democrats for refusing to say whether he thinks waterboarding is illegal torture.

"I believe the questions he's been asked are unfair," Bush said in an Oval Office session with reporters. "He's been asked to give opinions on a program -- or techniques of a program -- on which he has not been briefed."

Bush also refused to discuss his own view of waterboarding, saying that to do so would help those trying to attack America.

"There's an enemy out there. I don't want them to understand, to be able to adjust one way or the other," he said. "The American people have got to understand the program is important and the techniques used are within the law.

1. AGAIN there are only three times when it is unfair to question them
BEFORE they screw up/lie
WHILE they are screwing up/lie
AFTER they screw up/lie

Any other time-have at it they are more than willing to let you ask questions

:evilgrin:

2. The evil liberals are torturing the man
Only liberals know how to torture. I am impressed that bush can continue to sink for seven straight years, every day he jumps on the public stage and makes an ass of himself and denigrates even more "conservative" values. In that respect he is doing a great service for our country.
