Mukasey's choice

by Capt. Fogg

I'm interested to see how long it will be before we take the measure of the man Mukasey. He'll be sworn in today as Attorney General just as the Justice Department is reopening its internal investigation into the administration's warrantless (and perhaps limitless) surveillance program. The Office of Professional Responsibility has received the necessary security clearance to resume the investigation shut down by the Bush Administration in July 2006. Was waffling on the definition of torture sufficient payment to George or will he continue to stand between the king and the law? Will we really have an investigation at last?

I confess that I hope he surprises us and I confess that the howling diatribes against him as being a "Jew Supremicist" involved in the cover up of the "Zionist attack of 9/11" has something to do with my hatred of at least some of Mukasey's enemies, but I'm aware that it doesn't make Mukasey my friend. He does have an opportunity however, to restore independence to the AG's office and the Justice Department and I have another confession - I'm hoping for a miracle.

Here is today's headline from the Associated Press:
Bush promises to rebuild Justice Dept.

So he now promises to rebuild what he has torn, shredded and mangled beyond recognition.

The mendacities of our political life, all rolled into one pitiful sound bite.

I'm hoping that someone who attracts such Right Wing hatred might have something good about him.

If he does what i think he is going to do: have the case against two AIPAC officials dismissed, there will be riots.

Lester, could you get off the anti-semite thing please. I have a lot of Jewish friends and I don't really appreciate stirring up that hornet's nest.

you have friends?

sorry no, I'm not going to give a pass to this guy because he is jewish and it's politically incorrect to say so. and if you had actually written what I wrote, which you rarely do, you would see I am not making any mention of his jewishness but rather his allegiance to a foreign country. as is the jewish liberal and my good friend philip weiss.
