UPDATED with Contact INFO for Justice Comm..... my email to Congress on Mukasey.

[peacebird]

We respectfully ask you reject Mr. Mukasey as attorney general. Everyone knows that waterboarding is torture. Alberto Gonzales crafted legal loopholes to claim it wasn't in order to allow his "boss" legal justifications for the illegal and unjustifiable.

Mukasey is parsing and splitting hairs over torture. This does not bode well for his ability to bring the rule of law, blind to party allegiance, back to the Justice department.

America should not torture. Waterboarding is torture. Torture does not produce reliable intelligence and it is a stain on our great nations reputation. The fact we torture has destroyed America's right to ever claim the moral high ground. And it has made our soldiers less safe.
Thank you,

HERE'S A INK TO EVERYONE ON JUDICIARY COMMITTEE PHONE/FAX/EMAIL INFO

1. I hope you sent the to the Senate Judiciary Committee

That's the only place he can be stopped, and it's not looking good for that.

3. I did. Don't know that it will help but... maybe if everyone mails and calls them?

4. I don't know. I've been doing that, particularly with my Senator,

Pat Leahy, but I'm feeling pretty hopeless now.

2. Well put - Here's what I sent to Schummer

Mukasey is obviously being pressured by the White House, and if he is yielding to pressure now, he will do so once confirmed. It is a very simple thing to say waterboarding is torture. Senator McCain says it is, and Senator Graham says it is. But like Mukasey, they are giving in to pressure. Will no one stand up for truth and honor?
