12. Saying that he doesn't know whether or not waterboarding

is torture wasn't a lie? Saying it is torture immediately gets him voted up in committee, and, perhaps, voted down on the floor. Saying it isn't torture gets him voted down in committee, and he isn't confirmed.

The only answer he could give that would give him any kind of shot at being confirmed is the one he gave..."I don't know." But, he knows. Therefore, he's a liar and a capitulator to Bush. Therefore, he should not be confirmed.
