Bush Soooo Sorry ... So Now What?
"Bush has now admitted what the progressive blog community has said all along: Bush's tough talk was wrongheaded and cost lives ... America must now ask what this admission means. Does Bush take responsibility for the deaths generated by his admitted mistake? Does he accept the logical conclusion that his bluster resulted in the killing and maiming of hundreds if not thousands of US troops?  Don't wait for the media to acknowledge the gravity of this admission. Watch it slip by. It's too frightening a thought for them that Bush was dead wrong ..."

"The latest filing by Special Prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald in the CIA leak investigation indicates the prosecutor possesses "evidence" about communication between Vice President Dick Cheney and his former chief of staff who was indicted in connection with the ongoing investigation into the outing of covert CIA officer Valerie Plame Wilson ..."

NSA Wiretappling Only The Tip Of Bush Spying Iceberg:
"The National Security Agency’s warrantless domestic wiretaps and its logs of Americans’ phone calls are the most controversial, but by no means the only, surveillance initiative underway that has chilling implications for all Americans ... Pentagon’s “Talon” program ... has collected data on antiwar individuals and groups, and then failed to purge the information from its files. The FBI has monitored mosques ... The Justice Department has engaged in runaway prosecutions of trumped-up terrorism charges ... Local police forces—and the FBI, again—have infiltrated meetings, taken pictures of protests and asked employers about individuals expressing political views ..."

Coming To Your Neighborhood This Summer:
"Events promoting impeachment will be organized by numerous groups all over the country this summer and fall. The issue will not go away. But the only way Republicans will be able to capitalize on it will be if Democrats run from it ..."
