The Usual Suspects Jonah Goldberg The Corner Because I am a sinner, I get regular email from Progressive Democrats for America. I just got a press release announcing that "groups" want a special prosecutor for Bush and Cheney. <<< GROUPS REQUEST SPECIAL PROSECUTOR FOR BUSH, CHENEY Statement on Prosecution of Former High Officials We urge Attorney General Eric Holder to appoint a non-partisan independent Special Counsel to immediately commence a prosecutorial investigation into the most serious alleged crimes of former President George W. Bush, former Vice President Richard B. Cheney, the attorneys formerly employed by the Department of Justice whose memos sought to justify torture, and other former top officials of the Bush Administration.... >>> I like imagining conversations in the halls of power in Washington: "Did you hear? Did you hear? Groups want a special prosecutor." "Groups?" "Yes, groups." "Oh man, this is big." I also like this line from the groups' petition: <<< We see no need for these prosecutions to be extraordinarily lengthy or costly, and no need to wait for the recommendations of a panel or “truth” commission when substantial evidence of the crimes is already in the public domain. We believe the most effective investigation can be conducted by a prosecutor, and we believe such an investigation should begin immediately. >>> That's right, a prosecution of the former president and vice president won't take long or cost much, because we already know they're guilty from reading the Democratic Underground. Anyway, what kind of groups are these? Here's the list of signatories from the email: <<< Drafted by The Robert Jackson Steering Committee afterdowningstreet.org Signed By: Progressive Democrats of America pdamerica.org Center for Constitutional Rights ccrjustice.org The National Lawyers Guild nlg.org American Freedom Campaign Action Fund americanfreedomcampaign.org High Road for Human Rights Advocacy Project highroadforhumanrights.org After Downing Street afterdowningstreet.org Democrats.com democrats.com Gold Star Families for Peace cindysheehansoapbox.com Ann Wright, retired US Army Reserve Colonel and US diplomat voicesofconscience.com Delaware Valley Veterans for America delvalvets4america.org Voters for Peace votersforpeace.us Wisconsin Impeachment / Bring Our Troops Home Coalition impeachwi.com Backbone Campaign backbonecampaign.org CODE PINK: Women for Peace codepink4peace.org Velvet Revolution velvetrevolution.us Justice Through Music jtmp.org Brad Blog bradblog.com Cities for Peace citiesforpeace.org National Accountability Network Northeast Impeachment Coalition neimpeach.org Republicans for Impeachment republicansforimpeachment.com Op Ed News opednews.com Marcus Raskin, cofounder of Institute for Policy Studies, member of editorial board of The Nation, member of the special staff of the National Security Council in Kennedy Administration The Progressive progressive.org Peace Team peaceteam.net Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) afterdowningstreet.org Defending Dissent Foundation defendingdissent.org Grassroots America grassrootsamerica4us.org Media Freedom Foundation/Project Censored projectcensored.org Peace Action peace-action.org Grandmothers Against the War grandmothersagainstthewar.org World Can't Wait worldcantwait.net United for Peace and Justice unitedforpeace.org Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space space4peace.org War Crimes Times warcrimestimes.org Veterans for Peace 099 veteransforpeace.org Veterans for Peace 26 veteransforpeace.org Veterans for Peace veteransforpeace.org Naomi Wolf, author of "End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot," and "Give Me Liberty: A Handbook for American Revolutionaries" Iraq Veterans Against the War ivaw.org Daniel Ellsberg, Truth-Telling Project ellsberg.net Organizations and individuals can add their names to this statement at prosecutebushcheney.org >>> Looks like Main Street America to me. corner.nationalreview.com
