Frontline Laid Out Half The Case For Impeachment and War crimes Trials Last Night
Frontline, a television show broadcast on PBS, laid out half the case for the impeachment of Dick Cheney last night. One wonders why the Congress can not do the other half. Frontline gathered enough information to put Rumsfeld behind bars for war crimes as well. An hour and a half into the first segment (2 hours 15 minutes long) which aired last night you would have expected the White House to be surrounded by mobs with pitch forks.

Don't miss the second half tonight; the war itself.

You can view it on line at: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/bushswar/

6. Sadly, it would do no good. She's so complicit in all bush**s
actions it's scandalous.

I don't know what we're going to do.

2. The whole show was riveting.
We recorded it and am so glad. It just boggles the mind what is going on with the citizens of this country.

3. I think it might have been the most important TV show ever aired
I wish everyone in the nation would see it. Bush would be out of office within a month and Rumsfeld would be behind bars.

I haven't watched Frontline yet, but I have PBS on demand and will watch out for it. Also, Frontline often posts their full videos online. :) I honestly don't look forward to watching it but watch it I must.

8. indeed. -- you know this isn't the first time that front line has
follwed a story right down to it's skeletal structure.

i find that fascinating -- and i think to myself -- i bet execs at cbs, abc, nbc, cnn or at least their families and friends watch this -- that seems very reasonable -- and does it occur to them the story they missed?

i mean i'm sure it doesn't however -- frontline lets the genie out of the bottle.
it does get watched -- by a lot of people -- it must have some effect on the talking head class.

9. My husband and I watched part 1 last night and will watch part 2 tonight
I wish every American would watch this I also checkd out the first segment of Taxie to the Dark Side will finish that after Bush's War. Every American should donate to Public Television the only place we hear the truth.

10. Cheney needs his a$$ to be hauled off.
him and Rumsfeld joined at the hip, I saw some of the documentary, and I was totally enraged, we have been played for fools by these thugs, they have destroyed our country and other countries. This will come back to bite us all, unless someone or alot of somebodies just scream out ENOUGH.

11. I feel it is important for our candidate to keep talking about
cost of the war and what the people of America are doing without...as in War v. Healthcare so forth and so one...
