In a request for information Monday, House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers suggested the Bush administration may have leaked classified information on US spying programs in order to rescue embattled Attorney General Alberto Gonzales from perjury charges.

"e are concerned that this disclosure, stemming from 'current and former officials briefed on the program,' may simply be an effort to respond via Administration leak of potentially classified information designed to rehabilitate previous controversial testimony by you," Conyers, a Michigan Democrat, wrote to the Attorney General.

1. So if we have 1,000 reasons to impeach, won't it happen rather quickly?
Conyers' excuse for not impeaching is that it would take too long.

Meanwhile the case for impeachment gets more airtight.

2. Another version of "Wag the dog" although in Shrub's* case it is
