DU THIS on YAHOO - "After Downing"

It's not exactly a news flash that the Bush Administration lied to the public before the invasion of Iraq. What should be on front pages, though, is new proof of the Bush Administration's lies brought to light by the previously unknown Downing Street Minutes, recently obtained and printed in the Times of London. (The Downing Street Memo is a transcript of minutes of a secret meeting chaired by Tomy Blair in Britain in July of 2002 to discuss preparations and propaganda before going to war. It was marked "Secret and strictly personal--UK eyes only.")

The Downing Street Minutes are deserving, in the words of constitutional lawyer John Bonifaz, of an official "Resolution of Inquiry directing the House Judiciary Committee to launch a formal investigation into whether sufficient grounds exist for the House of Representatives to exercise its constitutional power to impeach George W. Bush, President of the United States."

Our memo is written to Representative Conyers, both because he is the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee and because he has been a brave truth-seeker on this issue and so many others. We support his letter demanding answers from the Bush Administration, signed originally by eighty-eight of his House colleagues; his call for 100,000 signatures to back up that letter; and his plan to go to London to seek more answers.

Despite a slow start, the Downing Street Minutes may have a long life expectancy, and the Misleader of the Pack may yet have to confront the truth.

20. Excuse me *barf* the flag is presented to a 2-year-old?

Exploiting a 2-year-old who doesn't know squat about why his father died. That's low, that's crass. I guess we're all supposed to say, "Awwwwww, ain't that sweet."

:wtf:

[understandinglife]

26. Actually, I think your response and mine are quite similar.

I literally had to remove myself from the computer when I saw it for fear of doing damage to an expensive and vital (for my science) piece of computing equipment.

Peace.

28. It's depressing to read this...

Especially this line:

It's not exactly a news flash that the Bush Administration lied to the public before the invasion of Iraq.

It's a shame that so many in the media say, off the cuff of course, "Oh, of course he lied, duh...." Almost as if it's a big joke to them. And that so many others give this story the brush off knowing full well how many lives Bush has destroyed with the lies is dispicable.

[AuntiBush]

32. They're they go... "down playing" War on Lies w/Blood on their Hands.

All of them!

[AuntiBush]

29. Can't "believe" they have to ask these questions:

From the above Yahoo article: (Get this... like one has to ask!)

Snip

"The question must now be asked, with the release of the Downing Street Memo, whether the President has committed impeachable offenses.

Is it a High Crime to engage in a conspiracy to deceive and mislead the United States Congress and the American people about the basis for taking the nation into a war?

Is it a High Crime to manipulate intelligence so as to allege falsely a national security threat posed to the United States as a means of trying to justify a war against another nation based on 'preemptive' purposes?

Is it a High Crime to commit a felony via the submission of an official report to the United States Congress falsifying the reasons for launching military action?"

end snip

Aww... well, er, I'd say "yup!" What do other Du'ers think?

[me b zola]

34. I agree with your conclusion

I believe that * is impeachable on all of those facts + the others not pertaining to the war.

Voted, e-mailed to 5 people, and nominated this thread!
