Looks like Democrats are trying to make waterboarding an issue in the nomination of Michael Mukasey for Attorney General. Democrats want him to condemn waterboarding as torture.

People are still talking about Hillary Clinton’s disastrous debate performance last week and Peggy Noonan wrote her latest column on the subject.
