The Senate Judiciary Committee voted on Tuesday to approve the nomination of Michael B. Mukasey as Attorney General, despite opposition from most of the committee’s cowardly Democrats over Mr. Mukasey’s refusal to label an interrogation technique used by CIA as torture.

The vote, 11 to 8, with two Democrats joining all of the committee’s Republicans in supporting Mr. Mukasey, all but assured him of final confirmation by the full Senate. The Senate’s Democratic leaders are expected to schedule a vote by next week.

The nomination of Mr. Mukasey was almost derailed by his refusal at his confirmation hearings to define as torture the interrogation technique known as waterboarding, which simulates drowning and is reported to have been used by the Central Intelligence Agency on a handful of Qaeda leaders since the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

Democrats are not capable of doing what it takes to protect America and win the war on terror. They’re wimps who are more interested in coddling our enemies than making them talk.
