It is time now, and long past time, to impeach George Bush and bring civil and criminal charges against those who plotted and planned and carried out this international criminal conspiracy. This includes the vice president, the former secretary of defense, and the president of the World Bank and, perhaps, the attorney general. It should also include members of Senate and House oversight committees who were briefed, to some extent, by this particular branch of organized crime we call the executive leadership of the United States of America. Subpoenas please, members of the Senate and House committees. Persons and papers. By demand, not request. This is still a rule of law community, I pray.
