Why is this man crying?
George H.W. Bush gets teary talking about a time when American soldiers treated prisoners with respect.
When waterboarding was a crime
Americans knew the practice was torture back when we prosecuted the Japanese for using it after World War II.
I can't believe it's not torture, continued
Should Mukasey be confirmed as attorney general if he can't say whether waterboarding is torture?

Wolfowitz won't resign? Good
