Mukasey, Worse than Gonzales?

Alberto Gonzales was the worst Attorney General ever, because he was incompetent, but Michael Mukasey may be worse for the country.

Today Attorney General Michael Mukasey testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee, and proved again he has no respect for the law, the Constitution, or the American public.
The Nuremberg Trials were supposed to have set the precedent that obeying an illegal order was no defense under the law, yet today Mukasey argued that neither those who committed torture or those who gave them the green light should be investigated or prosecuted.
The techniques authorized by Bush administration officials were and are illegal under both US and international law. Less than a year ago, Mukasey said that the Bush administration’s infamous torture memo was “worse than a sin, it was a mistake.”
Mukasey’s refusal to investigate is worse than incompetense, its criminal.
