| This would be more appropriate in the political forums, but it seems that it evokes emotions on both sides such that it gets moved over here anyway. I might as well cut out the middleman!
This is a letter to the editor of The Arizona Republic, published in today's paper.

2,000 Americans will never know truth
Nov. 1, 2005 12:00 AM
More than 2,000 Americans will never know about last week's indictment of a top aide of Vice President Dick Cheney on obstructing an investigation into the lies that sent them to their deaths in Iraq.
Lewis "Scooter" Libby did not do this on a whim. He didn't do it because he thought it would be good for his career. He did it because he was told to by his boss, or by his boss' boss - and 2,000 Americans killed in a useless war in Iraq will never know.
If we were actually in danger from Iraq, I would be helping to fight. If Iraq had ever actually had weapons of mass destruction, I'd be helping to fight.
But it was all - all! - a lie. And the lies continue with these cover-ups.
Lying to the American people in order to wage a war under false pretenses is treason. According to the Constitution (so blithely ignored by the present occupant of the White House), wartime treason is a crime punishable by hanging.
Unfortunately, even if this treason is appropriately dealt with, it will still be too late to bring those 2,000 young Americans back. |
Question: If sexual improprieties in the Oval Office is cause for impeachment, what should happen to the lying imbecile who sits in that office today?
