If War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity Aren't Enough to Get Impeachment, What IS?
TUESDAY: Congressman Dennis Kucinich, whose bill to impeach Cheney has 22 sponsors, will introduce a resolution on the floor of the
AfterDowningStreet.org says, "Ask your representative to vote No on tabling, Yes on giving impeachment a chance. Those who vote Yes to table cannot use the excuse that "We don't have the votes," since others will at that same instant with exactly the same exertion be voting No. Please contact Congress and the media right away!"

Friday, CNN reported on Nickelodeon's "Nick News with Linda Ellerbee" and the furor in the blogsophere over a clip called "Rebels With a Cause: Real Kids Tackle Important International Issues" Young World Can't Wait activists protesting torture in December 2006 are featured prominently in this clip. Watch Rebels With A Cause.
Here is the blog where "Army Wife Toddler Mom" is complaining that Linda Ellerbee's program is "anti-war, anti-GWOT, anti-military", attempting to get people to complain to Nickelodeon and the show's sponsors.
You can also follow the links and send a supportive message to Ellerbee and Nickelodeon.
Senators Schumer and Feinstein have announced they are going to vote for Mukasey for Attorney General, meaning that his confirmation is again likely, despite Mukasey's contention that he can't know if waterboarding is torture, and in fact doesn't know how the government is interrogating people it holds. Mukasey is in favor of expanded presidential powers, including warrantless wiretapping.
Let's be clear: confirmation of Mukasey means a reaffirmation of torture as official policy carried out by people who know what they are doing.
| This is waterboarding    |
| These are War Criminals    |
One of many letters to the New York Times against Mukasey:
"So our nominee for attorney general refuses to declare waterboarding illegal after being educated by a member of Congress on what it actually is. That explanation destroyed Judge Michael B. Mukasey's ability to deny knowledge of the practice; one is reminded of the obfuscation of Alberto R. Gonzales, the former attorney general, in his bobbing and weaving before Congress's questions.
Clearly, if confirmed, Judge Mukasey would act as a "team player" of the Bush administration, helping to cover up issues of torture, rather than as an independent enforcer of the nation's laws.
Part of the legacy of such a confirmation would be, inevitably, condoning waterboarding and other methods of torture in the future..." - Kathryn W. Kelber,
One more reason?these crimes must be stopped. One more reason to drive out the Bush regime!
