Reason No. 973a to be leery of Democrats — more on Mukasey

As a follow-up to a recent post of mine noting Attorney General Mike Mukasey’s stance on waterboarding sounds like Newt Gingrich, the real issue behind this is we have an Attorney General with the ethics of Alberto Gonzales but more administrative skill in stonewalling, lying and denying:
The problem is that Mukasey is only willing to make and defend his decisions without explaining them. Still, he is very convincing in asserting that even though his decision is secret and its rationale is secret, and all future applications are secret, he is nevertheless confident that it’s the right decision.

True, some Democrats from the Senate Judiciary Committee are right now showing themselves to be less worthy of being called leery.

But, this is like shutting the barn door on a 2,000-beast concentrated animal feedlot operation after they’ve all crapped in the lagoon.
