Mukasey and The Hand of God? I hope Attorney General Michael Mukasey recovers from whatever caused him to collapse last night. But I can't help but notice that Mukasey collapsed while mounting an argument that Bush administration officials should not be prosecuted for their culpability in torture.

Attorney General Mukasey was roughly twenty minutes into a speech defending the administration's torture policies and particularly arguing against prosecutions of people who made decisions in the aftermath of 9/11 (essentially arguing against what he believed amounted to the criminalization of policy differences).

Conservatives often speak of bringing God more in American public life. That might have been the hand of God right there.
