The 'I' word

The memo that wouldn't die. Today's Boston Globe today's op-ed piece by Ralph Nader:

If this is answered affirmatively Bush and Cheney have committed 'high crimes and misdemeanors.' It is time for Congress to investigate the illegal Iraq war as we move toward the third year of the endless quagmire that many security experts believe jeopardizes US safety by recruiting and training more terrorists. A Resolution of Impeachment would be a first step. Based on the mountains of fabrications, deceptions, and lies, it is time to debate the 'I' word.

Indeed. With the news today that "deep throat" has revealed himself to be W. Mark Felt, the 2nd in command at the FBI at the time of Watergate, one wonders who will be Bush's "deep throat"? Certainly, there has been an increasing trickle of leaks from across the pond that continue to reinforce the fact that the invasion of Iraq constituted a war of aggression, and was hence illegal. Yet, the press here in the states continues to reefer any coverage, if they cover the story at all. They have been compromised.

I'm glad to see someone with the courage to state the obvious, even if it is Nader. Maybe he (finally) has some guilt over his ill-conceived run for president in 2000 and 2004.
