Senator Gravel on Impeachment
February 14th, 2007 by alex
The senator's position on impeachment is that, in this case, it is insufficient.
Impeachment will merely remove George Bush and/or Dick Cheney from office. Senator Gravel supports a congressional inquiry into whether or not George Bush has indeed overstepped his authority as president and broken the law. The inquiry would focus on the accumulation of any and all evidence that indicates wrongdoing and could then be used in criminal proceedings against the president. At this time, Senator Gravel's advocates that Congress focus on ending the Iraq War.

Impeachment insufficient?
Submitted on May 19th, 2007 by discohtek"...will merely remove Bush or Cheney from office" (?)
That's a huge, "merely", and a warning to their successors. Nothing can justify another 1.5 years.
"A congressional inquiry?"
3/4 of Congress deserve impeachment as well. Impeachment is not optional, it is mandatory.
"...broken the law."
Pardons will most likely negate any criminal proceedings.
Gravel's position, however, appears to be the consensus among democrats, and also Ron Paul (R-Texas).
Still, another 1.5 years? It makes me wonder.
Has Gravel made an official statement about it?

Submitted on March 1st, 2007 by cgilmoreGreat, and waste more of America's money? It'd just be a long, expensive, and ultimately futile endeavor. None of the truly responsible parties will spend a single day in prison, and even if they did, what does that fix? The most that needs to happen is to somehow bar them from doing any more damage.
Does anyone else see the parallels between wasting money going after Bush and Co. and wasting money going after the evil third-world monster of the week? What greater statement could be made than to use those resources to bring about something good and meaningful?
The parallels don't line up.

Money used to attack another nation unprovoked produces injustice. This costs $billions and untold numbers of lives.
There is a huge difference in the amount of money, and the lives can never be recovered.

Only democracy will save us!

These two imcompetent bozos not only need to be removed, there should be a criminal inquiry to see if any laws were violated, which i'm sure did happen. The co-conspirators in the investigation should include but not limited to, Rice, Gonzales, Rumsfeld, and anybody else who may have assisted Bush and Cheney, and included in this should be the worthless Colin Powell, what a smart General, he didn't speak out when he should have. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR. I think I have an ulcer just thinking about what these bandits did.
Impeach them AND put them in jail

Submitted on February 14th, 2007 by jeffhaleyhere are some of the things I wish the Bush admin. would held accountable:
Premeditated intent and action to generate falsified intelligence
Fraudulent use of knowingly falsified intel to start illegal wars of aggression
Repeated violations of Geneva Convention
Repeated violations of habeus corpus and many other rights we hold self-evident
Authorization of illegal warrantless wire-tapping
Authorization of extraordinary rendition to countries that torture
Authorization of torture by US personnel
Outing a classified CIA agent for political reasons
All good reasons.
