WASHINGTON: Attorney General nominee Michael Mukasey was
interrogated by members of Congress on whether waterboarding
and similar procedures qualify as torture under US law.
"Is waterboarding torture? I'm not sure, but it doesn't sound
like torture. Sounds like surfboarding or something," said
a jocular Mukasey. "Now, Chinese Water Torture sounds like
torture, but that has the word 'torture' in it. That's a
real giveaway."
If Mukasey is confirmed as US Attorney General, the torture will
continue until morale improves.
