June 9, on the floor of the U.S. Congress, for more than five hours, Rep. Dennis Kucinich read out, explained and justified 35 articles of impeachment he was levying against President Bush. Many have long before been supported by respected scholars and journalists, members of Congress, former administration officials and high-ranking military officers.
Most recently, former Bush administration press secretary Scott McClellan has acknowledged that the Bush administration had indeed decided to attack and invade Iraq just days after 9/11, pursued deceptive means to accomplish this, and that Karl Rove and Scooter Libby were lying about their role in illegally revealing CIA agent Valerie Plame's identity to the press.
Also, as recently as April 9, an ABC news report revealed that, in the words of the Washington Post's Dan Froomkim, "top Bush aides, including Vice President Cheney, micromanaged the torture of terrorist suspects from the White House basement." This mainstream media revelation gives the lie to the oft-repeated claim by Bush that "we don't torture," just as he was caught in 2005 outright lying about wiretapping American citizens' international phone calls without Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants, as demanded by law.
Worst of all
However, of all the clearly impeachable offenses committed by Bush and Cheney, to most Americans, manipulating the American people and their representatives into a war based on false claims remains the most heinous.
