Eugene S. Farley, MD: Bush, Cheney, AG all deserve impeachment
A letter to the editor — 6/11/2007 10:37 am

Dear Editor: Thanks to all of you at The Capital Times for the positions you have taken regarding the need to use the impeachment option. The piece by John Nichols ("Gonzales deserves impeachment," May 29) further emphasizes this need.

It is obvious there is no constitutional reason for not impeaching President Bush, Vice President Cheney and Attorney General Gonzales. There are many constitutional reasons for impeaching them. Those who fail to recommend impeachment proceedings ignore or defy the validity of the Constitution of the United States.

Here's another from the same site, a long one; "Blowback!":

Midge Miller: For democracy, we must consider impeachment
Midge Miller — 6/11/2007 10:37 am

The United States democracy is in a struggle for its life. A growing number of writers, generals and other opinion leaders are speaking up to inform and encourage an inattentive public to understand and to make a stand to protect our nation from enemies within and without.

In his new book "Nemesis," Chalmers Johnson talks about the momentous decision Great Britain faced after World War II. As its colonies struggled for freedom, Britain understood that it would have to choose between empire and democracy. If it resorted to tactics despotic enough to maintain empire, it would lose its own democracy. Britain chose democracy and humanity, and the British and the world are the better for that choice.

That is our choice today. As our leaders make their thirst for empire clear through one policy after another, our struggle to keep our humanity and democracy becomes the fight of our lives.

As exploited people in these countries discover our manipulations, it should not surprise us that some seek revenge. "Blowback" is the CIA term for chickens coming home to roost. No country is strong enough to repeal the laws of cause and effect.
