Rep Steve Cohen and Bruce Fein drafting Articles of Impeachment againt Gonzo
http://www.commercialappeal.com/mca/nation_world/article/0,2845,MCA_25345_5661194,00.html

This article has already been posted, focusing on the first part of the story: his co-sponsoring of Cheney's impeachment, but then below:

In a telephone interview from Memphis on Monday, Cohen said he and his staff are working with former Reagan Justice Department lawyer Bruce Fein to draw up articles of impeachment against Atty. Gen. Alberto Gonzales. The conservative Fein has advocated impeaching Cheney for initiating kidnappings and secret detentions and advocating the ongoing domestic warrantless wiretapping program.

"I just think that with what I've seen in these first seven months is that there's been so much disregard for the Constitution by the administration," said Cohen. "I've seen it firsthand on the Judiciary Committee with General Gonzales."

Cohen said Gonzales' efforts when he was White House counsel to get a surveillance program approved by then-Atty. Gen. John Ashcroft as he recovered in his hospital room were particularly egregious.

"It's a major part of our country's civil liberties, and principles, that we don't spy on our people," Cohen said.
