Letter to the Editor 

I can’t understand John McCain’s support of Bush’s nominee Michael Mukasey for Attorney General. When Mukasey was asked about a torture technique called waterboarding he evaded the question acting like he didn’t know what waterboarding was. McCain on the other hand clearly knows what waterboarding is and says that it clearly is torture. Bush has made it clear that he’s not going to send a nominee that believes that waterboarding is torture calling that a “litmus test”. John McCain sold out on torture. It looks to me like Hillary is more serious about blocking torture than McCain is.
