Email to the House Judiciary Committee
Chairman Conyers:

Now that the Libby verdict is in, I hope that you and the Committee will pursue the question of Mr. Cheney's role in the matter of the outing of an undercover CIA operative. Mr. Fitzgerald hinted today that he will provide information to the Committee if you request it.

Also, Mr. Bush's role in the affair needs to be examined. What we know is that he secretly declassified secret documents. Apparently, only he, Cheney and Libby knew that parts of the NIE had been declassified. This is, at least I would think, highly unusual protocol. Moreover, it was used for the purpose of giving legal cover to the OVP so that the selected information could be used in a political smear campaign.

That sounds like an impeachable abuse of power to me.

Thank you for your time.

1. Good job! Maybe if these offices are just absolutely bombarded...
I'm in a mildly pessimistic mood at the moment, but I don't feel as though all is completely lost.

We just have to keep reminding them WHO THEY WORK FOR, AND HOW THEY GOT TO THOSE MAJORITY POSITIONS WITH SUBPOENA POWER. And they should be reminded: USE IT, or LOSE IT.
