Dems set threshold for Mukasey nomination

The Democrats tipping point on confirming Mukasey:
Judge Michael Mukasey’s nomination for attorney general ran into trouble Thursday when two top Senate Democrats said their votes hinge on whether he will say on the record that an interrogation technique that simulates drowning is torture.
I know this is an extremely important issue, particularly with respect to how the country presents itself to the international community, but they’re willing to acquiesce on Arlen Specter’s issue regarding the president (this or any other) being above the rule of law? How can they possibly have a single point of demarcation? Is this the quid pro quo for letting Leahy and Specter review documents they are legally entitled to see anyway?
