NOT run by the government, but the people. How much longer can we live lies? Sweeping it all under the rug won't suffice. If we win in the fall, how can we make this possible?

1. I think we need a truth commission with or without impeachment.
And trials at the Hague for the war criminals in the White House.

It will take a lot to get this country back on track again.

4. It would require quite an operation to get any officials to the Hague.

5. It would require quite an operation to get any truth out of ANYONE

2. Where did people ever get the idea that an ex-Prez can't stand trial?

Truth commissions are for post-conflict countries -- like Chile or South Africa -- where a trial would trigger a return to civil war.

Geez, just indict Bush and Cheney and the rest next year, and get on with it, already. Nobody's going to fire a shot to stop it.

3. But you know how things have been.
Do you trust that such a scenario is possible?
