This, I fear, is what the GOP base really feels on how Mukasey should respond to the Senator's letter on torture and waterboarding:
The correct answer is:
"Our interrogation techniques are classified, and I will not discuss them with you, since you treasonous bastards will immediately leak them to the Times and they will published forthwith, diminishing their effectiveness since the enemy will know what to expect".
The Islamofacists are irregulars. They should be interrogated any way which is effective (experimentation to discover which methods are most effective are highly encouraged) and shot promptly thereafter. If they suffer psychologically it won't be for long.
