It seems like we're getting 'Enron Style Management' from the Administration...No accountability...No responsibility...No integrity...No transparency...Ends always justify the means. When will the IraqGATE Senate hearings commence...? Congress and the American people deserve to know the truth about the campaign to go to war in Iraq...If our Executive branch lied and exagerated intelligence to build a case for war then some heads should roll. We are currently losing at least 1 soldier/day in Iraq...What will Bush and Cheney tell those families..? Is the expensive adventure over in Iraq making us any safer and is it justified and legitimate..? Do you think the Senate will have THE COURAGE TO HOLD IMPEACHMENT HEARINGS...?

It is amazing, the parallels here, to Watergate. With each new revelation in Watergate, there was an effort to make someone the fall-guy (after the effort to ignore the charges, and classify all incriminating evidence, had failed). This process worked its way up, slowly, beginning at the very lowest levels (the Watergate burglers), and by successive stages eventually getting to the President.

Today, it's like Watergate on amphetamines, everything moving at internet speed. We have already reached the point where the Vice President's credibility is being questioned. Things that took a year to uncover in the 1970s, take a month now. We are already one step, one small step, from the President. Cheney had to have been given all the data refuting the bogus Chad-uranium claim. There has to be documents proving this; there has to be people (secretaries, staffers, file clerks) who know this, who know which closets the skeletons are in.

And this is only the beginning, only the opening wedge. The bogus Chad-uranium story is only one of many.
