At long last, Senator Edward Kennedy faces the judge to talk about the human fear of drowning and the panic that grips the victim as they go under the water. It’s inhuman and it’s cruel according to the Senator’s ten minute long statement before the judge. It should not be done to anyone. This lecture, coming from Senator Kennedy, was directed at Judge Michael Mukasey, the President’s nominee for Attorney General of the United States. Thanks to the C-SPAN coverage of the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings this past week, we got to see this unbelievable spectacle--Senator Kennedy in peak form at his outraged best--lecturing a U.S. District Judge about water torture.
