Intellectual honesty, what a concept!

WASHINGTON – Attorney General-nominee Eric Holder Jr. declared Thursday that waterboarding is torture, forcefully breaking from years in which the Justice Department deftly avoided the sensitive question about U.S. interrogation methods.

Now that wasn't so hard was it? No harder than aknowledging that up is up and down is down. Everyone knows that waterboarding is torture. All of the winks and nods of Bush, Cheney, Mukasey, Gonzalez, etc were insufficient to suspend the disbelief of anyone and it's about damn time that our leaders start treating us like adults.
