Good Luck With All That
I haven't said much about the wiretapping/torture etc. kerfuffle because I really don't have much interesting to say. We're listening to international calls from suspected terrorists? I would certainly hope so. We 'tortured' captives to get information? Depending on the circumstances, I don't have much of a problem with that either. But you know, it's just driven some people off the deep end. Like this, which is perfectly ridiculous. (link via Fark)
Ranking House Judiciary Democrat Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) has introduced a motion to censure President Bush and Vice President Cheney for providing misleading information to Congress in advance of the Iraq war, failing to respond to written questions and potential violations of international law, RAW STORY has learned.
The resolutions were quietly introduced Sunday evening along with a third resolution (HR 635) to create a Select Committee to investigate the administration’s intent to go to war prior to congressional authorization. The committee would also be charged with examining manipulation of pre-war intelligence, thwarting Congressional oversight and retaliatory attacks against critics. As part of this resolution, House Judiciary Democrats seek also to explore violations of international law as pertaining to detainee abuse and torture of prisoners of war.
There's links there to the text of each resolution, so you can read them for a good laugh.
Can we say "gonna die in committee"?
Like duh, dude.
