Impeachment Groundswell Growing In Communities Around The USA

The Bush/bin-Laden Mutual Back Scratch
"CIA analysts had concluded ... that bin-Laden was trying to help Bush gain a second term ... bin-Laden ... recognized how Bush's policies - including the Guantanamo prison camp, the Abu Ghraib scandal and the endless bloodshed in Iraq - were serving al-Qaeda's strategic goals for recruiting a new generation of jihadists ... 'Certainly,' the CIA's Miscik said, 'he would want Bush to keep doing what he's doing for a few more years...'"

Independence Day Thoughts for King George
"The history of the present King ... is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States... He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good ... He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws ... He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people ... He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power ... He is at this time transporting large Armies ... to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation ... A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people."

Don't Settle For Impeachment ... Bush's Crimes Make Him Eligible For Jail Time!
THE SUPREME Court on Thursday dealt the Bush administration a stinging rebuke ... But the real blockbuster in the Hamdan decision is the court's holding that Common Article 3 of the Geneva Convention applies to the conflict with Al Qaeda — a holding that makes high-ranking Bush administration officials potentially subject to prosecution under the federal War Crimes Act ... here's where the rubber really hits the road. Under federal criminal law, anyone who "commits a war crime … shall be fined … or imprisoned for life or any term of years, or both, and if death results to the victim, shall also be subject to the penalty of death." And a war crime is defined as "any conduct … which constitutes a violation of Common Article 3 of the international conventions signed at Geneva." In other words, with the Hamdan decision, U.S. officials found to be responsible for subjecting war on terror detainees to torture, cruel treatment or other "outrages upon personal dignity" could face prison or even the death penalty."

Corporate Media Drops The Ball On Impeachment Movement Coverage
"In October, Public Affairs Research found that 50 percent of Americans said that President Bush should be impeached if he lied about the war in Iraq. A Zogby International poll from early November found that 53 percent of Americans say, "If President Bush did not tell the truth about his reasons for going to war with Iraq, Congress should consider holding him accountable through impeachment." A March 16 poll by American Research Group showed that 42 percent of Americans favored impeaching Bush. Despite all this advocacy and sentiment for impeachment, corporate media have yet to cover this emerging mass movement."

Congress Was Briefed... NOT

Diane Feinstein: Well, I’m on the Intelligence Committee. I can tell you when I was briefed and when the committee was briefed — and that was when it became apparent that the New York Times had the story and was going to run it. And that’s when and why [the Whitehouse] came to us and briefed us.

STEPHANOPOULOS: So you knew nothing about it before the New York Times was asking questions?

FEINSTEIN: That’s correct.
