The second and final day of confirmation hearings for attorney general nominee Michael Mukasey were held Thursday. Mukasey drew criticism from Senate Judiciary Committee members for testifying he believes President Bush could ignore rules mandating that a special surveillance court approve all secret wiretaps. Mukasey also refused to say if he believes the controversial interrogation technique known as waterboarding amounts to torture.
