Sunday, November 12, 2006  No accountability?  Nancy Pelosi has
said impeachment is not on the agenda. Conyers has now
apparently agreed with this (although I doubt this reflects his
true feelings on the subject). What I want to know is, does this
mean no accountability? Consider the situation: Bush/Cheney and
the neocons attacked a sovereign nation that was no threat to us
(don't believe their bullshit about believing Sadam had WMD's -
they knew perfectly well he was not a threat to us, as did
virtually all the rest of the world). Powell himself has said
two months before the attack that Iraq was not a threat. The
inspectors were right there on the ground at the time and said
there was no threat, in spite of Bush's absolute lie about Iraq
having rejected the inspectors. Attacking preemptively a nation
that is not a threat to you is the most basic of war crimes
(consult the Nuremberg trials). Authorizing torture is a war
crime. Hiding prisoners from the Red Cross is a war crime.
