Waterboarding

According to the LAT, AG Michael Mukasey has told the Senate Judiciary Committee, or its chairman, that "I do not believe it is advisable to address difficult legal questions, about which reasonable minds can differ, in the absence of concrete facts and circumstances." It seems reasonable. He's saying, essentially, that he doesn't want to answer a hypothetical. The chairman is being unreasonable to demand an unequivocal answer to a hypothetical question.
