However, I doubt if Mukasey will grant his permission to Mr. Fitzpatrick. Mukasey demonstrated at his confirmation hearing that he sold his soul to Bush/Cheney after his refusal to state that waterboarding is torture.

The point may be that Mr. Fitzpatrick has determined that there are no legal issues to prevent him from telling Mukasey, Little Georgie, and the Big Dick to pound sand, and to hand the documents over to Waxman anyway.

We can dream…

Some bizarre activity from the guy who was supposed to be training and following up on unethical activity within the White House. Probably had a lot of dirt on staff in the Bush Administration and was sitting on it.</p> My inference is that the WH does not actually “control” the transcripts or recordings of these interviews.

Some one last night was referring to W as “bat sh** crazy,” and, that, I also think is both true and scary. He needs to be stopped. A name that will live in “infamy” forever.. Rip the country apart and damage the family name. It really is time for him to leave the stage.</p> TO Kiddo way back at 65: It seems as though words begin to fail to describe the outrage and dishonor this moron represents.

And President Bush? Biden is heating things up. I’ve not been a Biden fan, but this kinda separates the men from the boys and girls.
