Yeah, he was "ordered" by DOJ, but "just following orders" isn't a defence. Is this punishing the low-level USA's for the sins of their bosses? Perhaps, but USA's really do have a lot of discretion, so make 'em sweat. Besides, impeachment isn't punishment, it's removing from office someone who WON'T DO THEIR FUCKING JOB! That's not to say that the rest shouldn't be impeached as well, but you have to start somewhere. In fact, I think you could make a good case for a blanket impeachment of the *entire* Bush administration, which would tie up the Senate so that they couldn't pass abominations like the FISA bill.

I don't know enough about "games played in House of (non) Representatives" to speculate on this. Although now that I think of it, that line from Dogma, "Oh, shit! It's the Pope!" would probably work as a duck-and-cover. How will they get out of it this time? I don’t know enough about “games played in House of (non) Representatives” to speculate on this.
