(Washington, D.C.) -- Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, Jr. released a nearly-500 page report documenting numerous abuses and excesses of the Bush administration. The report, titled "Reining in the Imperial Presidency: Lessons and Recommendations Relating to the presidency of George W. Bush," contains 47 separate recommendations designed to restore the traditional checks and balances of our constitutional system. Recommendations include calls for continued committee investigation, a blue ribbon commission to fully investigate administration activities, and independent criminal probes.
"Even after scores of hearings, investigations, and reports, we still do not have answers to some of the most fundamental questions left in the wake of Bushs Imperial Presidency," Conyers said. Pointing to allegations of torture and inhumane treatment, extraordinary rendition, warrantless domestic surveillance, the Valerie Plame Wilson-leak, and the U.S. attorney scandal, Conyers continued, "Investigations are not a matter of payback or political revenge it is our responsibility to examine what has occurred and to set an appropriate baseline of conduct for future administrations."
In addition to the set of recommendations, the report contains a foreword by Chairman Conyers and detailed discussions of: the administrations legal approach to presidential power; the politicization of the Department of Justice; the administrations far-reaching assaults on individual liberty (including torture, extraordinary rendition, and warrantless domestic surveillance); the misuse of Executive Branch authority; the administrations retribution against its critics; and the administrations excessive secrecy, noncompliance with congressional oversight, and manipulation of pre-Iraq War intelligence.

In the fifties people were convicted and deported for advocating the violent overthrow of the US Government.
Now it seems, they find a home in the demonrat party in some cases and in other cases they find a home in the O administration.
excellent research BUMP
I would not be surprised that Colin Powell is listed also.
The actions of the guards at Abu Ghraib were a deliberate, organized attempt to discredit the United States of America by ‘progressives’. The appearances on the leftist media, who praise them rather than hold them in contempt is evidence.
I’m not sure I trust the website of a Communist Party front group.
This revolting mannish woman pervert creep was responsible for ending General Ricardo Sanchezs career.
How about the photo of her on stage speaking to commie leftists? Do you trust that?

Another affirmative action recipient to torment this nation...
This is the group she was speaking to in the photo

Not In Our Name is another Revolutionary Communist Party front. You can find them listed with World Can't Wait and Vietnam Veterans Against the War Anti-Imperialists at this link.

Karpinski is like Mary Ann Wright. Always there with the radical left organizations but when you confront them about it, they’re never a member and the don’t endorse the group.
There’s no excuse too embarassing that they won’t use it if they can manage to get the words out.
Ann Wright is on the WCW endorsers list above.
SHE’S A MAN!

Correction: Ann Wright Detained at US Army Base
Editor’s Note: The print edition of Revolution incorrectly states that Ann Wright was charged With Sedition. We regret the error.
On Monday, May 22, Retired Army Colonel and former U.S. diplomat Ann Wright was detained at Fort McNair military base in Washington, DC. She was at Ft. McNair to demand that U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld be held accountable for the torture at Abu Ghraib. Interviewed on Democracy Now, Wright said she left materials about the movie Sir, No Sir: The Suppressed Story of the GI Movement to End the War In Vietnam at the base. Wright resigned her State Department post to protest the war in Iraq, and later testified at the International Commission of Inquiry on Crimes Against Humanity Committed by the Bush Administration bushcommission.org. Read the Revolution Interview with Ann Wright that appeared in Revolution #20.

I remember reading about her.........so, she has her people take pictures of the prisoners that just happen to end up in John Conyers hands year ago....a whole lot of things just clicked together at once, and it tells me that the depth of infiltration of the communists into our military has reached the flag ranks.....not good...
These people are a bunch of losers.
