Narrative:
We were cleared to land 28R by tower on an 8 mile final. On short approach (800 ft); tower cleared a cargo to 'line up and wait'; 28R. I could not see the traffic and did not know where the cargo aircraft currently was. I decided to initiate a go-around on the side of safety.tower should never give 'takeoff' or 'line up and wait' instructions to a departing aircraft; until the landing traffic has landed and cleared the point of the runway that the departing aircraft is holding short. This hazardous clearance from tower; could lead to an aircraft landing on top of another.
