Kucinich Letter To Judiciary Chairman Conyers: The Vice President Is Repeating Deceptive Tactics In Run Up To War With Iran

Washington, Nov 9 - Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) sent the following letter to Congressman John Conyers (D-MI), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee today:

November 9, 2007

The Honorable John Conyers, Jr.
Chairman
Committee on the Judiciary
2138 Rayburn HOB
Washington, DC 20515

Dear Chairman Conyers

I am writing in support of H. Res. 799, the Articles of Impeachment which were referred to the committee relative to the Impeachment of the Vice President of the United States of America.

Recent reports indicate that the Vice President is attempting to shape the National Intelligence Estimate on Iran to conform to his misperceptions about the threat Iran actually poses. Much like his deceptive efforts in the lead up to the Iraq war, the Vice President appears to be manipulating intelligence to conform to his beliefs.

If the reports are true, they add additional weight to the case for impeachment. I believe impeachment remains the only tool Congress has to prevent a war in Iran. This information relates directly to the Article III charges in the resolution. I urge your timely consideration.


Sincerely,
/s/
Dennis J. Kucinich
Member of Congress
