A "Strong Case for Impeachment"

Commercial Appeal (Feb. 12, 2007)

Letter to the Editor:

Strong case for impeachment

It's hard to believe 30 percent of the American people still think President Bush is doing a heck of a job. It is time the Democratic leadership in Congress showed backbone and began hearings to draft articles of impeachment against Bush and Vice President Cheney. They lied to Congress and the American people about Iraq to justify an illegal invasion of a country that had nothing to do with Sept. 11 and never attacked the U.S.

Bush and Cheney have manipulated intelligence to support their illegal acts, violated the constitutional rights of U.S. citizens, engaged in torture in violation of international law, and disclosed the identity of a CIA agent in an act of vengeance against her husband for his criticism of their misuse of intelligence to justify the Iraq invasion.

The crimes of Bush and Cheney are more serious than Nixon's, and far more serious than Clinton's lies about his private sexual affair. Let the impeachment hearings begin.
