Impeach For Torture

This was in my inbox. It's about fuckin' time for them to agree with me.

Impeach Bush and Cheney for Torture

On Friday, George Bush told ABC News he personally approved of the approval of torture - including waterboarding - by Dick Cheney, Condoleeza Rice, Donald Rumsfeld, Colin Powell and George Tenet.

"Yes, I'm aware our national security team met on this issue. And I approved."

In the wake of this shocking and appalling confession, we've come to a historic moment where every American - and every Member of Congress - must take a stand.

Either you're for torture or you're against it. And if you're against it, you must support the only Constitutional remedy for a President and Vice President who commit war crimes: impeachment.

Dr. Martin Luther King famously said of the Vietnam War, "A time comes when silence is betrayal."

I signed it, for what its worth, and added a message of my own. I'm not holding my breath though. I suspect all it'll accomplish is to put me on a spam list.

Lying under oath in a civil suit or orchestrating a third rate burglary are sufficient grounds for impeachment, but lying to start a war and torturing people is the political equivalent of the old song:

Steal a hundred, they put you in stir;
Steal a million they call you sir.
