    If . . . and its a very BIG IF . . . Pelosi, Hoyer, Rockefeller and Harman had a shred of integrity . . .

    they would resign forthwith for aiding and abetting, both before and after the act, the criminality of the Bush Crime Family.

    George Bush has publicly admitted ordering warrantless wiertaps . . . he merely claims the law does not apply to him. We know, thanks to the Red Cross, that the United States has committed war crimes, torture to be specific, in violation of US statutes and treaties. We know that the orders for such interrogation techniques came from the very top: Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld.

    We know that Congress is granted explicit power and responsiblity to impeach and remove the Executive if he commits high crimes or misdemeanors.

    If and when the Bush criminals are brought before a tribunal, there should be space left in the dock for the Democrats who enabled and covered up the crimes.
