While the Democrats were Caving ABC News Reported the White House Own Counsel Considered Waterboarding Torture: Assclowns

This is shocking. I saw this last night on Olbermann. He discussed it with Richard Wolfe and then John Dean. A high ranking official in the justice department then-acting (2004) assistant attorney general Daniel Levin was so concerned about the administration’s use of waterboarding that he went to a military base near Washington and underwent the procedure himself.

Levin took over Jack Goldsmith when he resigned and immediately began reassessing the administration's interrogation techniques. Levin released a memo that torture was abhorrent. What is even more shocking, Levin was so concerned with "waterboarding" being used and experienced the procedure himself and told the Whitehouse it could be considered torture.

After the experience, Levin told White House officials that even though he knew he wouldn’t die, he found the experience terrifying and thought that it clearly simulated drowning. Of course we know as Glory to the Union pointed out, one cannot simulate drowning, you are either drowning or you are not.

Levin, who refused to comment for this story, concluded waterboarding could be illegal torture unless performed in a highly limited way and with close supervision. And, sources told ABC News, he believed the Bush Administration had failed to offer clear guidelines for its use. Shortly, thereafter Levin was forced out by new AG Alberto Gonzalez.

This post is not meant for Mukasey or for the administration, but is meant for the democrats. When is enough - enough for them. While Feinstein and Schumer were caving this report was being released. Will this change thier minds? Probably not, but it is baffling that an opposition party provides no oppostion whatsoever.
