WHEN DO THE IMPEACHMENT HEARINGS BEGIN???

THIS MAKES WATERGATE LOOK LIKE A HIGH SCHOOL PICKNICK!!

Let me add: there's no need for long, complicated hearings. We've got Bush's testimony. Open and shut.

Keith Olbermann had jOHN Dean on tonight regarding Bush 's admission of war crimes .Olbermann asked why don't the democratic nominees make this a campaign issue.That would be a good start - we need to keep this out in the MSM .And Bushie you are wrong we can do something about this - we can & will make it a campaign issue -and the next Attorney General will bring accountabilty to this whole bunch of war criminals.
...currently we need to keep this issue alive for the next nine months .
And none of these Prinicipals will ever be able to travel overseas again - because the Hague is waiting for any and all of them - including much to my surprise & sorry former Secretary of State Colin Powell - ( the good general has lost his way - if he had but listened to his XO Colonel Wilkinson )

From your typing fingers to the universe's karmic record (and the Democrats' ears and spines), Al in Austex--and I like Paul's agenda. The USA has got to clean its own house if we ever want to regain any moral authority in this world, and a series of war-crimes trials against the Bush administration would be a great way to start. Not only that, but it would set a precedent to at least *concern* future administrations of either party.

This case is not "slam dunk." It is prima facie. Someone will have to translate that for the president.

Jade, I am glad that "Dubya" is acting like a grandstanding, strutting cowboy about torture. Over-confidence breeds sloppiness breeds fatal mistakes, often leading to a critical mass of outrage among the populace. Nixon's "Saturday Night Massacre" is a perfect example of how power-mad narcissists can be thier own worst enemies. So, let's just hope he keeps talking and talking and talking.......

"The United States of America does not torture. And that is important for people around the world to understand." -- Bush, press conference, November 29, 2005

As a US Gov't Official, you either impeach then prosecute torturers/war criminals OR you become one yourself.

Yes, it's just that simple.

Some other "simplicity" for the Impeachophobic Community:

• Impeachment would take weeks (perhaps days), not months. All that's left to do is a simple up or down vote on what's already in the public record.

• Both must be impeached and there's no reason not to do it on the same articles. Succession will not be an issue as staggered resignations will be allowed. (Stop over-thinking everything.)
• We already have the votes to convict in the Senate.
• The will be no (U.S.) prosecutions without impeachment. Failure to impeach is exoneration for the regime. (Excommunicate from that "cargo cult.")
• Whatever "ickiness" you're connecting to the Clinton farce is oxymoronic.
• Impeachment is the ONLY way to even begin to Redeem Our National Soul. It may well be the the path to reunite our once-great nation.

In general, stop your defeatist, escapist, culpably-irresponsible whining.

Impeachment is our ONLY moral, patriotic option.

It's not torture if the President says it's not. The President is Commander-in-Chief, and during a time of war, he can do whatever he wants. It's all legal. He makes the laws as he needs them. The Constitution says so.

Got it?

Well if you don't, he can come over and shoot you. That's legal too!

(What is most frustrating is that at least 1/3 of the American people KNEW that this was the way Bush et al would behave, and were behaving, but our f*cked up spineless Democrats (not all, but the majority), the supposed opposition party, turned up their rumps and said "F*ck me again." Because they were scared of a "vengeful mood" in the general population, which was whipped up by a dick-sucking traditional news media getting paid off or threatened by their corporate owners, who were using the "war" as an excuse to rip off the Treasury for present and all future tax revenues. And none of us believe that Bush et al are going to pay any price at all.

We just think that we will be lucky if we get to survive them and they go away, like the Saxon British and the Vikings.)

Shorter version: "Oh, that torture. I did it. I'm glad I did it and I'll do it again."

Did we really expect anything else from our Bully-in-Chief? What is torture other than the most sadistic form of bullying there is?

Andrew Sullivan Is A Fraud

We the people of the United States are one sick body politic, to permit these swine to retain power in our name. Years ago, I corresponded with my congressman (M. Thompson D-Ca.) urging impeachment. By his lights, his feeble calculations, it was off the table. As with Pelosi, I wonder if he grew ill upon hearing Bush boast of his war crimes? Probably not.

This is the "So?..." Cheney defense/attitude. The day of the ABC story I watched in vain for CNN etc., to have one tiny little blip about it. Olbermann hit it hard, possibly Lehr mentioned it. THE MAINSTREAM PRESS IS DEFUNCT, A COLLABORATOR! I hope the blogs take them down eventually. Are out-and-out war crimes passe` in this generation? It is the absolute duty of the next Administration to painstakingly uncover and expose every single fact concerning the Bush Administration's lawless actions.

"War crimes tribunals have to begin. America will never recover unless this happens. The shadow of Nixon's pardon casts itself into our future".

Right you are. In light of Bush's torture boast, I wonder if the "I opposed the Nixon pardon then but today deem it wise" crowd will reconsider its ramifications, yet again. Richard Reeves, for example.

"Hello, my name is George W. Bush, and I approved this torture."

littleblackpropaganda,
you are wrong the American people are not evil doers - we are sheep easliy mislead though-. But littleblackproganda" this is starting to look & FEEL like the "SIXTIES" - that is a whole lot of regular citizens are waking up and saying NO to the powers that be -
so littleblackpropaganda - sweetie , go get something nourishing to eat -go for a walk - get some sleep & at least send some money to Wexler Wants Hearings .com - we will yet hold these evil doers to account

The ABC story was the president's defense argument. The headline and the tone of the story was an attempt to make it all seem sensible. It's torture, but ABC, for reasons that we'll never know for sure, is trying to positively spin it when it was already clear he had approved torture. Since Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Tenet, Ashcroft, et al were already caught. Lock 'em all up.

Beat me too it.

"Where’s the outrage over Bush’s knowledge and approval of torture? Please join C&L and the ACLU: Time to write…"

here here.

The department issued another still-secret memo in October 2001 that, in part, sought to outline novel ways the military could be used domestically to defend the country in the face of an impending attack. The Justice Department so far has refused to release it, citing attorney-client privilege, and Attorney General Michael Mukasey declined to describe it Thursday at a Senate panel where Democrats characterized it as a "torture memo."

Maybe we should get Conyers to write a sternly worded letter to find out under what ' rule of law' we are governed?
