So Broder offers "This country is engaged in two wars" as a reason why we shouldn't impeach the President who lied us into at least one of them? Nice! I could never have come up with an answer as clever as that one!
It's too bad The Dean forgot to answer the question "If this is not an impeachable offense, what do you define as one?" I've asked that question myself a few times, and so far no one has ever even tried to answer it.
If the government snatched you off the street tomorrow, could you prove that you were NOT a threat? Should you have to? It can't be done!
Shouldn't the government at least have to provide SOME credible evidence that you DO pose a threat? That you WERE "attempting terrorist acts" or (heaven forbid!) "fighting against us in Iraq".
And if the government can't provide ANY credible evidence that you WERE doing these things, then how long should you have to stay in the cage?
People don't get very excited over legal niceties like "habeas corpus". But just imagine yourself caught up in the kind of situation where they apply...
