Mukasey lying and crying 9/11 tears

By Libby

On the premise that I'll reach more White House supporters there, I've been blogging Glenn Greenwald's  revelations on Mukasey at the the Detroit News.  Our sobbing AG really put his foot into it this time. As Glenn pointed out, if Mukasey's tearful tale was true, he effectively proved that the White House failed to use the tools at its disposal to prevent 9/11. 

However, as replies to Glenn's inquries have arrived, it's rather clear that Mukasey was just lying about the so called "safe house in Afghanistan" incident. We can take some small comfort from the fact that the administration apparently did not allow 9/11 to happen by failing to use its surveillance tools effectively. On the other hand, it's more than a little depressing that the Attorney General of the United States is willing to go to such lengths as crying and lying in an attempt to force Congress into caving into the coverup of White House criminality that telecom immunity would provide.

I can't wait for this administration to be over.
