Senator Schumer,

Just when I thought the soul of America might be restored, then came You.

Is waterboarding torture, yes or no? You know the answer to this question, don’t you, Sir? Maybe you don’t.

Listen to Senator Leahy for the moral guidance you apprently lack:

“No American should need a classified briefing to determine whether waterboarding is torture. Waterboarding was used at least as long ago as the Spanish Inquisition. We prosecuted Japanese war criminals for waterboarding after World War II.”

I hope you’ll see the error of your ways and change your mind about confirming Mr. Mukasey. Why can’t we get a simple answer to this simple question:

Is waterboarding torture, yes or no?

Is that a morally ambiguous question, Senator?
