Special Prosecutor Now!

Well. Saturday was interesting. Too much evidence and so little concern for investigation. How large does the pile of evidence of criminal conspiracy have to become before a Special Prosecutor is appointed? More on this in a moment.

Laffy at The Political Carnival pointed out the 10 Steps to Right Wing Trolling written by ryking. These look correct to me. I've seen these behaviors many, many times.

Also from Laffy at TPC is Little Known Military Thug Squad Still Brutalizing Prisoners at Gitmo Under Obama at AlterNet. More reasons that they don't want us to see too many pictures. We might become outraged and demand Rumsfeld's head on a pike.

Since the Republicans and the corporatist media are doing everything they can to suppress any notion of investigation of criminal acts by the Bush Administration, I think we need a reminder of the facts that were known last September when Rep. Kucinich read Thirty-Five Articles of Impeachment on the House Floor.

Here are some extracts that seem all the more important based on what we have learned recently.

ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT FOR PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH

Resolved, that President George W. Bush be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and that the following articles of impeachment be exhibited to the United States Senate:

Articles of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives of the United States of America in the name of itself and of the people of the United States of America, in maintenance and support of its impeachment against President George W. Bush for high crimes and misdemeanors.

In his conduct while President of the United States, George W. Bush, in violation of his constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has committed the following abuses of power.

The full document containing the Articles of Impeachment is available from
Dennis Kucinich's web site [PDF]. There is too much detail in each article to be posted here as one post, so I will list only the Article titles that have renewed significance based on recent information.

This partial list of articles portrays the Bush Administration as a criminal conspiracy. There is adaquate evidence to support each article to more than justify a criminal investigation. That is even more true now. The MSM did not ever mention the Articles of Impeachment having been read by Rep. Kucinich. It was another of those ignore events for the corporatist controlled media. The few outlets that mentioned the reading of the Articles used it as an opportunity to ridicule Rep. Kucinich.

Thank you Representative Kucinich for being the only member of congress to fulfill your constitutional duty as you swore to do when you became a Representative. The rest of Congress are a bunch of oath breakers.
