    Attorney General Michael Mukasey has notified the House Judiciary Committee that he will not appoint special counsel to investigate the actions of CIA officers and agents who conducted detainee interrogations that included controversial methods such as waterboarding, which simulates drowning.

     

    The controversial interrogation practices were authorized by lawyers from the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel.

    In a letter to House Judiciary Chairman Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., who had requested special counsel on the matter, Mukasey noted that “it would be unwise and unjust to expose to possible criminal penalties those who relied in good faith on those prior Justice Department opinions.”

    Referencing “The Terror Presidency,” a book by Jack Goldsmith — former head of the Office of Legal Counsel — Mukasey said that the intelligence community was exposed to “cycles of timidity and aggression.”

      ok… mr bush has illegal wars, kills innocent people and lies, so much that i have lost count…. i would really like to know the number of lies from mr bush….

      now a leader that is a criminal, starts wars and people get killed… that is a leader… he is supposed to set an example for the rest of us…

      well i think i will just follow in my leaders footsteps… start killing people, telling lies, making wars….
      if i done that, it would be jail for nikoli…….
      but i’m just following my leader, doing as he does…..

      War crimes are war crimes. You don’t get off the hook b/c you were just following orders. Maybe Congress should subpoena the CIA people responsible, & use them to nail Rumsfeld, Mukasey, Bush & Cheney to the wall.

      Well, anyway, we’re living in tyranny, only most people haven’t figured that out yet.

      The CIA should be ended. They are out of control rougues. They have a track record of assassinations, coups, torture. drug running. Their mobsters that take money straight from your paychecks.

    5. Joe in CA Says:

      It is unwise and unjust and unfair to serve due justice?

      WHAT?

      I don’t know who’s the better attorney general. Muckasey, or Gonzales?

      Take your pick.

    6. Gregory Fegel Says:

      The US government is a gangster organization. It has no real legal or moral authority. Its franchise, or mandate, has expired.

      hey senator’s Schumer and Feinstein, this is the man you drove down the United States citizens throats
