Unlike the clowns who are the administration and their minions many, many people have consciences that are really bothering them. Of course, we have a media that would rather focus on "missing white girls and babies, Paris Hilton and John Edwards" than do any expository pieces and followup to Susklnd and Jane Mayer's breathtaking books.
If the so-called 'liberal" media did its job, this country would not be headed in the direction it is rapidly heading in....straight to the bottom.
John, thanks for covering this.
But Pelosi thinks it would be "wrong to impeach". By not impeaching Bush will pardon all the criminals that could be indicted - exactly what the founding fathers thought would never happen - hence, they gave us impeachment to remove a criminal from office before he could use his pardon power to protect his co-conspirators.
Whatever gov't we have now, it is damn sure not a democracy.
I would prefer seeing all of them strung up, but if Bush is just going to pardon them and set them free, what's the point?
A War Crimes trial makes more sense to me.
The mistake Ford made, and later acknowledged, was that he did not include in the pardon words to the effect that acceptance of the pardon constituted confession of guilt.
I have no doubt believing Bush and Cheney, Addington and the rest of that bunch would not give a second thought to anything that would give them the war they were determined to start, but I have a hard time believing they would put it in writing.
I think, as more and more evidence surfaces, a war crimes trial would be the most appropriate venue for dealing with the murders of more than 4000 Americans and over 100,000 citizens of other countries. Impeachment would not be severe enough punishment for such crimes.
Its a horrifying thought, but recently, because of Susskind's charges, I have begun to believe that Bush and Cheney, perhaps Rice and others, understood fully in July or August of 2001 that an attack was about to occur and did nothing to stop it because they wanted war.
There is a small college in Maryland (?) that has taken up the study of war crimes trials and how they might be constituted.
Nuremburg, the Japanese and other proceedings will provide all the guidelines they need.
Here is a site that discusses what is going on at the Mass. School of Law re potential for war crimes trials. They plan a September conference.

John McCain is speaking on the campaign trail LIVE on CNN. He is trying to convince Disabled Veterans he will not leave the sick veterans, and stand by all his promises to them. Kind of makes you wonder about the promises he made to his SICK WIFE, CAROL, when he left her for Cindy Hensley, the pretty and rich young girl who wanted to be his trophy wife. John McCain claims he will keep his promises and not leave the sick or wounded behind? Ha! Ask Carol McCain about it. She'll tell ya! Besides, McCain already has a proven voting record that says his talk about supporting the troops and veterans is ALL TALK! Republicans vote against the troops then go on FOX News and wave the American flag and chat with newsreaders about how they support the troops. John McCain: If you are sick, and its not convenient for him, he will leave you IN THE DUST!
And, in addition to geopolitics and oil, many of the world's wealthiest ancient art collectors, facing future legal difficulties over looted treasures, were also pressuring powerful US leaders for access to Iraq...The American Council for Cultural Policy had its first meeting on October 9, 2002 and met quietly with military and civilians in the Pentagon and in Rome by the first month of 2003.

Deer Sodomy,
Me and Atta are done learnin'
and ready for the Murkins.
Yurs Truly,

P.S. The cake was better than mamma's.
P.S.S. This is a reel letter.
I trust absolutely nothing coming from BushCo Inc. Whatever they present, consider it a lie and investigate the exact opposite and more often than not that is the truth.
BushCo's actions for the past seven years have been an infomercial for treason, war crimes and crimes against humanity. This, as they say, is the mere tip of the iceberg.

Let's see...
Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, and the other neocons lied about yellow cake and forged a document, they said Al Qaeda members and Saddam's people met somewhere in Europe, they said Saddam had terrorist training camps in Iraq, they got that slimeball Chalabi to lie and exaggerate about the situation in Iraq, they lied about WMD's, they frightened the American people about mushroom clouds, they lied about the war being very short, they lied and assured us, that the Iraqi's could pay for rebuilding, hell, they lied about everything, and everything was a lie.....so what is different about Suskind confirming the fact that they forged documents? It was done before, and it should be no surprise now.
Unfortunately, Congress seems to giving these war criminals a free pass.
The Bush/Cyeney war criminals are getting away with murder...the murder of a million Iraqi civilians, as bad as Hitler, no?
The Bush administration has committed countless war crimes and impeachable offenses, too bad the I word is unacceptable in the halls of Congress these days..
if only we could get an intern to blow Bush we might be able to impeach him.. /sigh.
We need to track down the origin of that document. Where did Allawi get it?
and said nothing.
If impeachment is pushed, Pelosi herself, along with a few other top leadership Dems who also saw the memos & said nada, could be accused & called as a defendant, right along with Bu$hCo.
I'm not sure how many folks realize this.
Although, personally I would be happy to sacrifice and CONVICT a few compliant Dems, right along with the vile Bush Regime.
The guilty, top Dems are protecting their own asses as well as Bu$hCo's.
Part of the plan, no doubt.
If Vladmir's use of Bush's tactics (as the Decider fiddles in China) in Georgia disrupts the transGeorgian oil pipeline, the corrupt few will have a harder time with the everything's fine media psyop.
