Was that Bush approved torture. Well, we all knew that, didn’t we?
Anyone who promises to drag every member of this gang of war criminals before the Hague has my vote.

I’ve been writing for a long time about how the Bush administration has made a lot of seemingly inconsistent moves that really have one ultimate purpose - namely, CYA for their commission of war crimes.
Now you know.

Dick Cheney has a lot to hide, after all:
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Vice President Dick Cheney’s office refused to cooperate with an agency that oversees classified documents, then tried to abolish the office when it challenged the actions, House oversight committee Chairman Henry Waxman said.
The National Archives’ Information Security Oversight Office is charged by presidential order […]

I wonder what it would be like if Congress had enough balls to stand up to this:
WASHINGTON - Older White House computer hard drives have been destroyed, the White House disclosed to a federal court Friday in a controversy over millions of possibly missing e-mails from 2003 to 2005.
The White House revealed new information about […]

Hmm. Bob Novak says GOP sleazebag and dirty trickster Roger Stone told right-wing talk show host Michael Smerconish months ago that Eliot Spitzer wouldn’t finish his term.
In an interview last week, Stone cheered the governor’s demise, and hinted further that he’d known about the governor’s fall.
“I didn’t make him go to a prostitution ring,” Stone […]

It continues because no one’s ever really said no:
The Bush Administration’s Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel is refusing to turn over a document providing its analysis of Bush’s justification for executive orders.
Responding to a Freedom of Information Act request from the Federation of American Scientists, the office said the document was “classified.”

If this Congress hadn’t been so patient with them, they could have stopped a lot of the abuses:
The House Judiciary Committee filed a lawsuit yesterday to enforce subpoenas against President Bush’s chief of staff and his former counsel in a probe of suspected White House involvement in the 2006 firings of nine federal prosecutors.
The panel […]

Impeachment’s off the table, but hey, let’s throw the crowd a (useless) bone:
Two weeks ago, the House passed a contempt resolution against White House chief of staff Josh Bolten and former counsel Harriet Miers. The two refused to comply with subpoenas issued by the House Judiciary Committee as part of the investigation of the U.S. […]

In the midst of this primary orgy, someone hasn’t forgotten why we’re in this mess in the first place.

Jonathan Turley:
It has been well-known that Speaker Nancy Pelosi has insisted that there will be no impeachment of President Bush during her term. Activists, however, have reported that John Conyers may be considering confronting Pelosi and starting such proceedings after a meeting in his office. They have started a campaign to show Conyers that he […]

You know what to do. Link:
House Republicans engineered a series of procedural votes Wednesday in a bid to derail the Democrats’ proposed extension, which President Bush said Wednesday he would veto. They argued that the House should simply take up and send to the White House a surveillance overhaul bill (HR 3773) that the Senate […]

Scott Horton: (h/t Avedon)
If things proceed on the course now set by the Bush Administration and its shortsighted collaborators, and the national surveillance state is achieved in short order, then
future generations looking back and tracing the destruction of the grand design of our Constitution may settle on yesterday, February 12, 2008, as the date of […]

For Bush and the telecoms. Glenn Greenwald:
The Senate today — led by Jay Rockefeller, enabled by Harry Reid, and with the active support of at least 12 (and probably more) Democrats, in conjunction with an as-always lockstep GOP caucus — will vote to legalize warrantless spying on the telephone calls and emails of Americans, and […]

Avedon suggests that Chris Dodd use this if he has to filibuster. I wholeheartedly agree. From Al Gore’s Jan. 16, 2006 speech in Constitution Hall:
This legal theory, which its proponents call the theory of the unitary executive but which ought to be more accurately described as the unilateral executive, threatens to expand the president’s powers […]

Statement yesterday:
In Washington today, telecom lobbyists have launched a full-court press to win retroactive immunity for their illegal eavesdropping on American citizens. Granting retroactive immunity will let corporate law-breakers off the hook and hamstring efforts to learn the truth about Bush’s illegal spying program.

Harry Reid. What a little weasel.
Commenter at Glenn’s:
This is collusion between the Executive and Legislative Branches of government to end-run the Constitution, and to try to avoid any check from the Judicial Branch which would stop and reverse this deliberate invasion of our privacy and knowing violation of our Constitution. If Members of Congress could […]

What interesting timing:
Among the sixteen days for which email are missing from Vice President Cheney’s office is Sept. 30, 2003, the same day the day the Justice Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation announced they were investigating who outed former CIA officer Valerie Plame Wilson.
That morning, then-White House counsel Alberto Gonzales ordered the president […]
