Rep. John Conyers, Jr., and other Democrats hold a public meeting concerning the "Downing Street Memo" and pre-war intelligence on Iraq.
On May 1, 2005 a Sunday London Times article disclosed the details of a classified memo, also known as the "Downing Street Minutes", recounting the minutes of a July 2002 meeting of Prime Minister Tony Blair with his advisers that depicted an American president already committed to going to war in the summer of 2002, despite contrary assertions to the public and the Congress. The minutes also described apparent efforts by Bush administration officials to manipulate intelligence data in order to justify the war to the international community.
The hearing is scheduled to be rerun on C-SPAN 2 at 8 p.m. EDT.

Why is it that all of these people are sleazy whimps?
Oh, impeachment! Fun, fun!
Please read this..it's long but way worth it
(snip)In order to fully understand CCR's publicly stated reasons for advocating for prisoners at Guantanamo, which center on the concept of "civil rights," and to understand its lesser known but much more important reasons for wanting interrogations there halted, it is necessary to briefly examine the history of the CCR and its leadership, the types of clients it advocates for and its political affiliations. And a thorough examination of CCR's current president, Michael Ratner, who is the driving force behind the Guantanamo shut-down effort, is absolutely vital to understanding the position that CCR takes today regarding the rights of prisoners captured in the War on Terror.

Warrior King: The Case for Impeaching George Bush - a new book by John Bonifaz
In February and March 2003, John Bonifaz served as lead counsel for a coalition of US soldiers, their parents, and Members of Congress in a
federal lawsuit challenging the authority of President Bush to launch a war against Iraq absent a congressional declaration of war. Needless to say, the suit failed to prevent the invasion and occupation but Bonifaz's arguments about the constitutional violations inherent in Bush foreign policy are still politically potent.
Bonifaz lays out his case in a new release from Nation Books, Warrior King: The Case for Impeaching George Bush. "President Bill Clinton was
ultimately censured over alleged charges of perjury and obstruction of justice," says Bonifaz. "But no one died as a result of the Monica Lewinsky
affair. President George W. Bush's offenses to the Constitution are far more serious and have resulted in the deaths of thousands. It is time for Congress to investigate whether the president's offenses constitute high crimes worthy of impeachment. To protect and uphold the Constitution, that
process should begin."
***I don't remember Bill Clinton being censured, do you?
Thanks
Okay--the impeachment has been called for by this idiot--
It is up to the Congresscritters to come out NOW, and say that the impeachment talk will stop NOW...
9/11 has nothing to do with Iraq.
