There have been an incredible number of Americans in leadership positions that have come before the House Judiciary Committee to be heard. The overwhelming concensus that cannot be ignored is the overt illegal activities of the Bush/Cheney Administration.
It was astounding to realize Elizabeth Holtzman was actually repeating history with still another Republican aristocrat, again abusing the US Constitution. (Click here)
Bush un-impeachment bill gets hearing
by Katie Fretland and updated
Critics of President George W. Bush got the chance to air grievances against him Friday at a House Judiciary Committee "non-impeachment hearing" before a packed audience of political activists.
Even Cindy Sheehan, the famous anti-war mother, was there until she got kicked out for being loud.
Committee members and witnesses, including Libertarian presidential candidate Bob Barr, spoke for almost six hours on allegations the Bush administration, among other things, misled the public into the Iraq War, manipulated intelligence and selectively prosecuted Democrats. Northwestern University professor Stephen Presser offered expert analysis.
The session was not an impeachment hearing, because the House of Representatives had not given authorization for such proceedings. Ranking Republican committee member Lamar Smith of Texas called the hearing an "anger management class" that only serves to impeach Congress' credibility....

Bush critics get an unimpeachable forum
By Jim Abrams / Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Call it the un-impeachment hearing.
The House Judiciary Committee held a hearing Friday it insisted was not about removing President Bush from office. But critics of Bush's policies couldn't pass up the chance to charge the president with a long list of impeachable "high crimes and misdemeanors."
Leading the way was Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, the former Democratic presidential candidate who has brought repeated impeachment resolutions on the House floor against Bush and Vice President Cheney.
Kucinich got a rock star welcome of whistles, hoots and clapping as he walked into the hearing room, holding hands with his wife, from hundreds of anti-war, anti-Bush people crammed into the room and lining the hallways outside. T-shirts reading "Arrest Bush" and "Veterans for Impeachment" illustrated the sentiments of many.
"The decision before us is whether to demand accountability for one of the gravest injustices imaginable," Kucinich testified, avoiding use of the "I" word....
Al-Qaida returns to Afghanistan to protect Bin Laden. It was far easier to protect him and defeat 'The West' while Halliburton was making profits in Iraq. Maybe this time next year, Bin Laden will actually be captured or killed. It won't take forever to achieve that goal. It should not have taken forever to do it this time. We should have been in and out of Afghanistan within two years living behind ONLY the reparations of war to begin Afghanistan 'anew.'
Ambassador: al-Qaida leaving Iraq for Afghanistan (click here)

WASHINGTON (AP) — Al-Qaida's foreign fighters who have for years bedeviled Iraq are increasingly going to Afghanistan to fight instead, the Iraqi ambassador to the United States said Wednesday.
"We have heard reports recently that many of the foreign fighters that were in Iraq have left, either back to their homeland or going to fight in Afghanistan. Afghanistan is now seeming to be more suitable for al-Qaida fighters," said Ambassador Samir Sumaida'ie.
Al-Qaida had training camps and a headquarters in Afghanistan, under the protection of the then-ruling Taliban, until the U.S. invaded after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. With al-Qaida forced out of Afghanistan, the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003 quickly drew outside fighters there....
