1. Can I just return the stuff I stole?

> (Gonzales)... has one week to correct his testimony or risk being investigated himself.

Oh, MY! What "Law and Order" freaks these guys are!

2. If you didn't know, EVERY witness before Congress gets this opportunity.

It is only those who persist in defiance who are criminally prosecuted.

It's not a special policy by Congress just for him. (Edited to specify Congress. Wouldn't fly in a court.)

3. Can those Senators who support Gonzales be considered accessories

in the coming prosecution?

This would make them vote the right way. They may think twice as they may be considered 'involved'

4. Great point Bambino, the complicity, the aiding and abetting,

accessories before during and after the fact....lots of hands in DC are dripping with blood, and not just republicans. If your Rep. has not signed on to House Res. 333 to impeach Cheney

EVEN IF THE ARE DEMOCRATS, doesn't that make them complicit in the destruction of our Constitution???

Save your Rep. from prison, make sure he/she signs on to Kucinich's resolution. 15 brave, heroic Americans have already done so. We only need a few more!!

"All thats needed for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing"

5. You can just hear them 'oh I didn't mean to support Gonzales'

where I have heard that before?
