An admin defender takes a swipe at those "soft on terrorism libs" because those dirty hippy ivy league elitists think that "Muslim terrorism springs from economic despair, lack of education and American militarism". Yet Bush states on the same day just about the same thing that the author ridicules the 'libs' for. It just muddles the "liberals admin critics hate america, want to lose, soft on terrorism" message a bit.

I was referring to possible legal jeopardy for admin officials who had authorized the use of waterboarding. Thats why Mukasay cant answer the "is it torture?" question because it would put people "in personal legal jeopardy". Granted we've passed legislation that retroactively protects those involved, but Intl law doesnt care about that.
