-----------------------

not really a fair poll, since two questions are about impeachment & one of gets him off. Should not have the 3rd question, but if you add it to the first there are some good numbers.

it should be "Yes, he lied to congress to start a war, and broke the law in fighting that war."

[chill_wind]

51. Agree--- the framing could be much better.

Let's not dispense with the criminal negligence and lies and cover-ups about the warnings and briefings re: 911.

And the criminal negligence of Katrina.



And I don't like the flat statements taken from the Newsweek poll as almost statements of fact. That whole accurate sentence should read "28% percent of respondants to The Newsweek Poll".

Imagine the results if they'd made an even more indicting list...

The following is an Amazon book review by one of its' Top 100 reviewers. It's long but worth the read.


9/11 Synthetic Terror: Made in USA, Third Edition by Webster Griffin Tarpley
Edition: PaperbackPrice: $12.21 Availability: In Stock
23 used & new from $9.99

96 of 117 people found the following review helpful:

Among Hundreds of Books, The Strongest Approach to Truth, October 7, 2006
It is with great sadness that I conclude that this book is the strongest of the 770+ books I have reviewed here at Amazon, almost all non-fiction. I am forced to conclude that 9/11 was at a minimum allowed to happen as a pretext for war (see my review of Jim Bamford's "Pretext for War"), and I am forced to conclude that there is sufficient evidence to indict (not necessarily convict) Dick Cheney, Karl Rove and others of a neo-conservative neo-Nazi coup d'etat and kick-off of the clash of civilizations (see my review of "Crossing the Rubicon" as well as "State of Denial"). Most fascinatingly, the author links Samuel Huntington, author of "Clash of Civilizations" with Leo Strauss, the connecting rod between Nazi fascists and the neo-cons.

This is, without question, the most important modern reference on state-sponsored terrorism, and also the reference that most pointedly suggests that select rogue elements within the US Government, most likely led by Dick Cheney with the assistance of George Tenet, Buzzy Kronguard, and others close to the Wall Street gangs, are the most guilty of state-sponsored terrorism.

The author draws on historical examples of US fabrication of threats (e.g. the bombing of the USS Maine in Havana Harbor) and many others (Jim Bamford publicized Operation Northwoods). It is an undeniable fact that the U.S. Government has been willing to kill its own citizens and fabricate attacks as part of moving the public.

The author suggests that there is no conclusive evidence that 9/11 was of foreign origin, and to the contrary, quite a bit of evidence that the hijackers had been trained at US military bases, protected by the CIA and FBI, and that the end result of their actions--including controlled flying into buildings and controlled demolitions bringing down three towers, one of which was not hit at all, all suggest a US-based conspiracy.

The author is compelling in his review of the conflicts of interest for each of the 9/11 Commissioners and key staff; he is conclusive in his damnation of their performance and their refusal to be tough with NORAD, the FAA, and many other Executive organizations that refused to cooperate; and he is conclusive on his suggestion that all actual evidence points to the Pentagon being hit by a missile rather than an airplane.

The author is especially compelling in condemning Rudy Guilliani as part of the conspiracy, and as the "bud" of the extreme right charged with cleaning up the crime scene. Instead of making the area off-limits, Gulliani moved aggressively to "scoop and dump" to the point that firefighters rioted.

I sit here, a 54-year old, liberally educated, two graduate degrees, war college, a life overseas, 150 IQ or so, the number #1 Amazon reviewer for non-fiction, a former Marine Corps infantry officer, a former CIA clandestine case officer, founder of the Marine Corps Intelligence Center, and I have to tell anyone who cares to read this: I believe it. I believe it enough to want a full investigation that passes the smell test of the 9/11 families as well as objective outside observers. I believe it sufficient to indict Dick Cheney and other neo-cons. Sadly, the Executive is now in the service of corporations that benefit from high crimes and misdemeanors, rather than in the service of the American people who suffer great ill from these terrible mis-deeds.

My bottom line: justice has NOT been done, and this book, together with Crossing the Rubicon, is a major reason why I believe that eventually, Dick Cheney and others will be brought to justice. The people now have a digital memory and collective intelligence. Bin Laden Dead or Alive? Mission Accomplished? Civil liberties at home, democracy abroad? Just who are we kidding? More to the point, who are we betraying if not ourselves?

60. I've changed my mind back to "yes."

Yesterday I was thinking that in order to win the White House in '08 we should just go about our business and pass a ton of good legislation that helps the masses and let history be the judge. Now I'm thinking we won't have a supermajority and chances are the whole Congress will be gridlock for 2 more years, so what the hell. Quite frankly, he deserves to be tried for war crimes and spend time in a cell next to Sadam. Any way we can do that? Impeachment is nothing more than a tap on the hand in this case.
