Is Mukasey’s nomination a nod for torture from the UN Senate?

Question

Mukasey’s nomination is argued as the best we’re going to get from the Bush administration. We are asked to compromise better and worse in place of right and wrong. How many times in the past have people accepted a series of these same compromises until they have lost their way to become willing executioners? Wouldn't it be better to have a worse recess appointment than to have the US Senate give a nod to torture?

US Senate, sorry...

Answer 1

UN Senate? Was that a Freudian slip?

Answer 2

There's a time for politics, you know.
