Rachel's "Hubris" and holding BushCo accountable

I just saw Rachel's Hubris video and many intelligence high officials are now speaking out about how the neocons manipulated the intel and media to fit their WMD-Saddam-9/11 scheme as the reason to go to war in Iraq. We all know this but with this documentary, it seems that more witnesses to the crimes are talking.

If this isn't a "high crime," I don't know what is. The problem now is that we can't impeach the criminals. What CAN we get them on? Fraud? Legally, what can we charge them with? Premeditated murder?

I think some of the veterans' groups, government accountability groups, MoveOn et al. should start a class action suit against the BushCo neocons who organized this scheme. I would be happy to join and send in money to hold BushCo accountable.

Thoughts? I was once again jolted by "Hubris" in reviewing the despicable actions of BushCheney & Co. and I don't think we should just "move along."

Pretty much all of the war profiteers agree that this old news, and we need to keep our eyes affixed on the next big money-maker--er-- national security threat.

Keeping this front and center just *might* keep them/ thugs like those guys from higher office, though. At least for a short while...
