I Thought We Didn't Negotiate With Terrorists: If People really believe Bush and Company are this nuts; then all we really need is a one day hearing and send it off to The Senate.
And Then There is McCain…insane and the same.

Diary Entry by George Washington
Yesterday, in response to an essay arguing for impeachment, I got the following comment:
"If anything, the start of impeachment proceedings might force Bush to start the war against Iran early or cause him to bring about the false flag attack you mention.
What better way to show the country how the Democrats engage in divisive partisan politics than to have them impeach him while the country is at war.
Bush could also use the threat of impeachment as a pretext for declaring martial law and sweeping aside all opposition. It's better to just let Bush leave office quietly than to risk the horrors that he could unleash on us before then."
What is he talking about?
Well, both Ralph Nader and attorney, longtime activist and 24-year public defender Bob Fueur say Congressman John Olver disclosed that Congress is terrified that -- if Bush or Cheney are impeached -- they might bomb Iran, declare martial law and suspend the 2008 elections.
Indeed, leading neocon Daniel Pipes said in a recent interview posted at National Review Online, that if Obama is elected in November, Bush will attack Iran in the remaining ten weeks of his term.
If what Olver or Pipes say is true, then Bush and Cheney are literally terrorists. And Congress is literally negotiating with them by saying - in essence - "please don't bomb Iran or declare martial law and suspend the elections, and we won't impeach you".
I thought we didn't negotiate with terrorists.
Impeaching, removing and convicting these guys is the safest approach. Covering up their crimes - which Congress is currently doing - is like telling a terrorist that we won't spill the beans on his last terrorist attack if he doesn't blow us up . . . an approach which will backfire and lead to more terrorism.
Disclosing their crimes, taking away their ability to carry out further mischief, taking away their base of power, and imprisoning them is the way to protect ourselves.
Ducking Impeachment in Congress and the Newsroom
On Monday last week, something important happened in Washington. Rep. Dennis Kucinich, the Democratic representative from Cleveland, OH, who early in the primary season won some of the biggest applause lines in the Democratic presidential candidate debates, introduced 35 articles calling for the impeachment of President George W. Bush for high crimes and misdemeanors.
You'd be excused if you didn't know this happened. There was almost no reporting on the event that day or the next, which took several hours to accomplish, along with several hours Tuesday for the whole bill to be read into the Congressional Record. Kucinich's address to the House was broadcast live on C-Span. But it was not announced in advance or highlighted on the C-Span website, and there were not many news reports on the historically significant fact that articles of impeachment had been filed against the president during subsequent days.
A week later, it has still not been reported in the New York Times, the nation’s self-described “newspaper of record,” even though the Times had just days before Rep. Kucinich’s action, editorialized about the enormity of the president’s lies in tricking the country into invading Iraq—one of the crimes leading Rep. Kucinich’s long list.

The Honorable John Conyers, Jr.,
Chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary
for the United States House of Representatives,
representing Michigan's 14th District
Dear Mr. Conyers:
There is no funding for undeclared wars of congressional choice after Sept. 30, 2008. Congress is establishing justice, thanks to the House of Representatives, but not the Senate. United States killing for greed appears to be ending. Your good office can assure it. Will you?
For 61 years, undeclared United States wars of congressional choice, not necessity, have deprived over 10 million foreign persons of life, and ten times more foreign persons of liberty, or property, all without due process of supreme law in violation of the 5th Amendment to the Constitution for the United States. This has made we the congressionally betrayed people the most hated and feared people on earth.
The Number One problem facing America is getting Congress to recognize this fact.
Every member of Congress, including your Honor, is under oath and contract to support and defend due process of a declaration of war, or a declaration to cease fire in an undeclared war, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion. In the past, most members have given only lip service to their patriotic duty. They danced for special interest dollars. Except just before elections, they betrayed we the people who empower them by giving aid and comfort to their domestic sponsors who finance their election campaigns and, thereby, protect corrupt agenda. These evil sponsors profit from human misery in unconstitutional wars. Those members of Congress who serve such domestic enemies commit treason.
The Supreme Court agreed to decide whether Justice officials must face a lawsuit claiming prisoners detained after 9/11 were subject to ethnic and religious discriminationThe Los Angeles Times’ David G. Savage relates.
Contrary to the official version, a Senate investigation has concluded that top Pentagon officials began assembling lists of harsh interrogation techniques in the summer of 2002, The Washington Post’s Joby Warrick reports — and see an unhappy related Wall Street Journal editorial.
Florida's Sun-Sentinel Is America's Pravda And The Laughing Stock Of America
I thought I had seen it all, and then I received an email from Robert Wexler with a copy of the Sun Sentinel's Editorial titled "Impeachment not worth another minute of anybody's time."- When I first read the Editorial, I though it was a joke; since the Sun-Sentinel is in Southern Florida, I thought maybe Disney World was involved and Goofy was the Editor, or at worst, they had allowed the White House to write their Editorial. It was the worst take on our current situation that has ever graced (or tarnished) an American newspaper, and those of us who understand the crimes of the Bush administration were likely wondering if the Sun-Sentinel's Editorial Board were using some of that cocaine that Florida is so famous for "importing"- through it's many ports and hidden beaches.
To add insult to injury, the Sun-Sentinel ran a poll on whether Bush should be impeached, obviously sure their readership approved of their hypocrisy, but hands down, the readership themselves rejected their poorly crafted Editorial and gave them a smack-down they sorely deserved, and I applaud the inhabitants of Southern Florida for posting their opinions and rejecting an editorial that was ridiculous and unfortunately, exposed the Editorial Board of the Sun-Sentinel of rank partisanship and a failure to understand the mood of the American people - even in a Red state like Florida.
But first, these are excerpts from an editorial that appears as if it was written by Carl Rove or Dick Cheney, although if either of those had written it, I'm guessing that it might have made some sense, whereas as it was written, we have to ask ourselves if the Sun-Sentinel's Editorial Board was high or drunk when they attempted to "spin"- the obvious crimes of the Bush administration:
