After four years of delays, the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence has finally released its Phase II report. In a sweeping review of the administration’s pre-war case for invasion, the Committee found that the American public was being fed information at odds with the truth about Iraq.
The lies came directly from President Bush, [...]

Congratulations to Ken Bingham for having his work posted on Michelle Malkin dot bitch.

Ken, you are truly talented. I’m so glad the two of you found each other. She needs friends.
I think it would be really funny to do something for Sen Tom Davis’ comment,
“The Republican brand is so bad, if it [...]

From ABC News:
In dozens of top-secret talks and meetings in the White House, the most senior Bush administration officials discussed and approved the torture of prisoners held by the Central Intelligence Agency. The advisers were members of the National Security Council’s Principals Committee, which in 2002-2003 included Vice President Cheney, former National Security Advisor [...]

The corporate media circus exposed via BradBlog in all it’s commercialized glory. Don’t miss “Lapdogs Of The Corporate Press!“

I think we are reaching a nadir in the American consciousness. There are so many indicators both large and small. The surprising populist movement lead by Barack Obama is an obvious one. The changing language and focal points of the Right-Wing are another. Almost no one is left in the media nor in politics [...]

In Harper’s, Scott Horton writes about The Great Guantanamo Puppet Theater. The problem with the military commission trials is that they are really political tribunals controlled by Vice President Dick Cheney. The trials of six “high-value detainees” linked to the attacks on 9/11 are timed to coincide with the 2008 election, and the [...]

Last night, Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL) took to the House floor to urge the House Judiciary Committee to begin impeachment hearings into Vice President Cheney for high crimes and misdemeanors. Wexler, who has already acquired nearly 190,000 supporters through his website, explained his next steps:
Tomorrow, I will deliver these names [...]

And everyone who voted for Bush, and those of you paralyzed in silent neutrality. We can’t afford you anymore.

I have little editorial comment on this new development other than to say, fuck you Bush! And a holiday prayer that The Real America vis-a-vis our principles come crashing down on his coke head.
Happy Holidays!

Vanity Fair offers a sobering look at the costs that we — and our children and their children — will pay for the last eight years of Bush/Cheney economics.
The damage done to the American economy does not make front-page headlines every day, but the repercussions will be [...]

The charges are too serious to ignore. There is credible evidence that the Vice President abused the power of his office, and not only brought us into an unnecessary war but violated the civil liberties and privacy of American citizens. It is the constitutional duty of Congress to hold impeachment hearings.
Over 50,000 signatures just this [...]

Chairman John Conyers (D-MI) and the House Judiciary Committee have been a huge disappointment. Conyers talked a good game about impeachment when the Democrats were in the minority. Since becoming chairman, he has refused to hold any impeachment hearings.
The House Judiciary Committee has before it a resolution introduced by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) [...]
