Luke Debevec writes in the Legal Intelligencer that Attorney General nominee Michael Mukasey, were he confirmed, would
Step into the Justice Department at perhaps its most controversial moment, with significant concerns still being raised about inappropriate politicization of U.S. attorney investigations and the Justice Department as a whole, stalled congressional inquiries, unfulfilled document requests, and embarrassingly strained arguments from government lawyers defending torture, indefinite detention of U.S. citizens, and illegal wiretapping and electronic surveillance.
Debevec concludes that "any strategy intended to keep Mukasey from forthrightly answering the most important questions that he will face does a disservice to the country."
