Refocusing the Impeachment Movement on Administration Officials Below the President and Vice-President:
Why Not Have A Realistic Debate, with Charges that Could Actually Result in Convictions?

his son, and dick cheney, apparently.

take a look — a one minute video clip,
from my own july 2007 archives. . .

and, keep on keepin’ on!

way to go, EW!

700-plus diggs!

Been reading through everyones comments (all of those who know so much about the law). But from a peasants perspective it is so pitiful that a
congress investigated and impeached a President for lying under oath about a bj and yet a formerly Republican controlled Congress did not find it important enough to hold a President, Vice President, Libby, Rove, Fleisher for outing Plame. The Bush administration undermined U.S. National Security in ways that the public will never know about (well unless the next President de-classifies the Plame outing damage report).

How in the hell can Bush/Cheney get away with declassifying Plames identity? Hello Pelosi and Reid we are watching,calling, e-mailing and praying.

Lying under oath about a bj=Impeachment.
Lying about WMD intelligence 4000 Americans dying, over a million Iraqi’s dying, 4 million refugees ,purposely outing a NOC/Plame and undermining National Security =no problem.

What twisted, perverted and dangerous priorities many in congress continue to have. We know the Bush administration is beyond perverted and dangerous!

“In short, this NIE Summary, the one that proves Bush knew that he was making dodgy claims, was among the material that Addington and Libby refused to turn over to the SSCI. And they refused to turn it over even while Durbin insisted that only the Summary would reveal what Bush knew and when he knew it.

They deliberately refused to turn over the evidence that Bush knew the intelligence was dodgy.

So, aside from the leaking of Plames identity, which I cannot recall if she was listed as introducing the meeting members in a CIA doc, or was that also included in the NIE? anyway, aside from that, the fact remains, and I guess this is what SM is trying to get out there, perhaps to forstall a new move from this Administration to go into Iran, is that Bush KNEW, and lied to the American people.

did we, or SSCI ever see a copy of the NIE Summary?

Because it would be a way to distribute in short form to the public what Bush knew.

I wish KO had asked Scotty what he thought of Bush’s commuting Libby’s sentence…

I think EW’s got him: he did it, alright. It’s almost one of those things where he really wants us to know, like the Jessup character, but too many nervous folks’ fortunes are attached to his, so we see and hear a lot of scrambling about in the background.

As for Scotty, I too found myself thinking of John Dean this morning. Actually what I was thinking was that so far McClellan’s situation legally is not nearly so difficult, though in other respects it might be as bad or worse; the crowd he’s dealing with have less compunction than a lot of folks. But he sounded more genuine than he ever did at the WH, so maybe he’s really trying his best. And if so, then maybe that feeling of relief will get addictive.

It’s going to be an interesting summer, that will make (sort of) or finish breaking this Congress.
