Infantile Squabbling In Bush Admin - Shouldn't We Hire Adults For The Iran Issue?
"Condoleezza Rice just really pissed off John Bolton, who ... is seething about Rice's offer of direct negotiations with Iran ... Rice not only has to manage the Iranian response to her initiative but has to manage Vice President Cheney's team -- including John Bolton -- who will try to undermine her at every step ... what is not clear is whether (Bush) is going to give his complete support to Rice or whether he is going to sit on a perch while his closest advisors slash each other over this."

Leadership From The Roots: Another Town Council Votes For Impeachment
"Brookline followed the lead of Cambridge and a handful of communities in Vermont when Town Meeting members voted, 104 to 52, to call on the state's congressional representatives to impeach President Bush. In the final minutes of the fourth night of Town Meeting, on the last of the articles, they supported a resolution declaring that Bush has 'repeatedly violated his oath of office' by purposely misleading the country as he launched the war in Iraq."

The Health Ranger Speaks Out:
"Describing Bush as a war criminal or a lawbreaker is not a statement of political persuasion, it is an ironclad statement of fact. Taking a nation to war where no such war has been declared by Congress is an illegal act (as anyone who actually read the Constitution would know). Using depleted uranium on civilian populations in Iraq is an international war crime, even according to several treaties which the United States has signed ... Bush's recent declaration that he is above the law (which emerged during the illegal domestic surveillance fiasco) should have alarm bells going off in the minds of all Americans."

Growing Awareness Of The Case For Impeachment:
"Rank-and-file Democrats want--badly want--to see President Bush get impeached. So do independents. I hear it from everyone I meet ... The broad mass of the American public wants to be shed of this disastrous administration, and does not want to have to endure two more years of war, deceit, incompetence and politicization of every issue ... The American people understand that this president is a danger to the country, and a threat to the Republic. The American people realize that this president and his administration have been a wrecking ball, destroying the military, America's image abroad, the national economy, the education system, the healthcare system, pensions and the lives of ordinary working Americans."

Librarians: The Thin Line Between Your Privacy And Big Brother:
"Connecticut librarians spoke about their fight to stop the FBI from gaining access to patrons' library records at a news conference yesterday organized by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) ... were served with a National Security Letter (NSL) in August of last year as part of the FBI's attempt to attain access to patron's records ... According to an ABC News report, Assistant Attorney General William Moschella told members of Congress that 9,254 National Security Letters were issued in 2005 ..."
