Feinstein's Tortured Fantasy

Senator Feinstein: "He will make his views very clear; ... once he has the
opportunity to do the evaluation he believes he needs on waterboarding, he will
be willing to come before the Judiciary Committee and express his views
comprehensively and definitively."

The reality: "Atty. Gen. Michael B. Mukasey ... left open the possibility
that ... waterboarding could be legal in certain cases.... But he declined to
provide a definitive opinion."
