We have the evidence in hand-Impeach Bush, Cheney, Rice, Powell & Rumsfeld For Lying To Americans
A Goverment of Liars Must Be Brought Down

by Dave Lindorff

......................

There is only one appropriate response to the crime that has been documented here by the Center for Public Integrity and the Fund for Independence in Journalism, and that is impeachment. We have the crime laid out before us. We have the evidence in hand. It is now the obligation of the House to hold an impeachment hearing in which that evidence will be put before the members. After that, there must be a vote on an article of impeachment, against Bush, Cheney, Rice, Powell and Rumsfeld, for lying to the American people.

No president, no vice president, no senior cabinet officer, can be permitted to commit a treasonous act as serious as lying the nation into a needless war, and be permitted to remain in office. To allow such treachery to go unchallenged is to tell all future administrations that truth and openness have no place in American government. To allow this crime to pass is to declare that democracy in America is moribund, for the people can only be sovereign as long as they are given the truth about what their government and their leaders are doing.

No member of Congress who sits idly by and refuses to call these lying leaders to account deserves reelection.

A government based upon lies is by definition a dictatorship.

1. Truer words have never been spoken.
Our problem, of course, is Congress seems to be complicit in these illegal activities, as it continues to turn its back, delay, and ignore the obvious. In order to protect and defend the Constitution, Congress MUST begin impeachment proceedings.

There are no other options. And I believe at this point, doing nothing will hurt the Dems running this year more than impeachment. When the horrendous facts are made public, the American people will be screaming for justice.

2. It is a shame that 'murcans are too damn stupid or distracted by celebrity news
to care about this or to even learn about it. People in the US are blind about this administration - or just don't give a damn.

3. The democratic congress
must agree with Bush, or they would do something.

The Dems are not an opposition party, they seem to be a bunch of Bush enablers.

5. We've had it for years now. Too bad the folks empowered to uphold our laws don't give a shit, eh?
This "nation" is OVER.
Stick a fork in it, and cry "every man for himself".
