Today, Wisconsin Congressman Russ Feingold drafted a resolution to "censure" president Bush for his unconstitutional and illegal wire-taps of American citizens. This will probably be defeated by the Republican-controlled House, but at least SOMEONE is "holding Bush's feet-to-the fire" for this arrogant subversion of America's laws. Bush's argument has been: "If the president does it, it MUST be legal"!!! That didn't work for Richard Nixon or Bill Clinton; and Bush's FLAGRANT abuse of "executive-priveledge" should be MORE THAN sufficient grounds for impeachment... but THAT can only be initiated by the Senate....The Neo-Con, corrupt, Republican OWNED Senate. Didn't we fight a Revolutionary-War to depose ONE "King-George"? Must we now fight another to depose THIS "would-be-king"??? It is merely a matter of "semantics", when a government seizes people, imprisons them without legal-representation, and calls it "Rendering"..... In ANY other civilized-nation, such crimes are known as KIDNAPPING!!! Oh, I must have forgotten... ("9-11 changes everything!")... It must have "changed" our government's obligations to the CONSTITUTION!!! Our "Founding-fathers" were known as "terrorists" to the British Crown; What exactly is the difference between a "Freedom-fighter", and a "terrorist"??? Where is the "line" between those who fight for their "freedom", and and their "oppressors"?? At this point, I remind readers that AMERICA invaded Iraq... a "sovreign" nation which had NO "imminent-threats" against America. (based on the LIES and selectively-chosen Intelligence that was "spun" by Rumsfeld, Cheney, Bush, Powell, and Wolfowitz. Many "intelligence" sources have disclosed that the Bush administration ignored anything which didn't support their pre-conceived agenda, and FIRED anyone who disagreed) part of Bush's rational for invading Iraq, was to "stop nuke-yuh-lur proliferation"...That SAME proliferation now being fostered by Bush himself... giving "nuke-yuh-lur" technology and fuel to India and Pakistan!!His lies just never cease!! Does Bush think that this, (giving nuclear-weapons-technology to India and Pakistan), will "de-fuse" the arms-buildup and nuclear escalation in Iran?? If anything, it will cause Iran to escalate development of such weapons. George Bush is not only "incompetant", but truly DANGEROUS!! Is "criminal-negligence" a crime of which the president is immune??
