I agree with Cindy Sheehan

I agree with Cindy Sheehan. Do what she asks, start impeachment proceedings against Bush, Rumsfeld, Gonzalez and others, for my son, Nick Berg, too. Do it because the Bush Administration lied to the American People and though many of us recognized his threats and reasons for going to war as lies, Congress of both parties and my own son, Nick, did not.

Do it because this war based on lies destabilized I raq, left a power vacuum, and that vacuum was filled by Al-Quada who might be responsible for Nick's death.

Do it because George Bush ordered Alberto Gonzalez to rewrite the definitions of torture that allowed unhuman behavior in the Abu Graib Prison, because he gave the word to Donald Rumsfeld who gave the wink and the nod on down the line of the chain of command until even worse than legalized torture, rape and murder, was committed in that place.

Do it because with the arrogance of no previous adminitstration the Bush administration has trampled over the rights of Americans. Because as Commander in Chief he established the atmosphere that said: "Anything goes," and along with anything went my Nick's rights to due process and thirteen crucial days of his life spent in a US Military prison in Mosul Iraq.

Do it because those thirteen days (March 24 until April 6) thrust Nick into an Iraq heated by a new found hetred of Americans due to the revelations of those atrocities committed in the Abu Graib Prison. This new found hatred made almost every Iraqi a willing part of the resistance against us. And then just your everyday Iraqi's entered the bus Nick was taking trying to get home, and took him off. He was held captive, and traded up the line until he fell into the hands of those who so brutally murdered him on May 7 or 8, 2004, and who posted a videotape of that brutality on the internet on May 11, 2004.

Yes, I hold George Bush accountable as well as the people who killed him. George Bush who never once sent a word to me or my family. George Bush who only used my son's death to further justify his unjustifiable war. George Bush who tried and executed my son's supposed killer Abu Masab al Zirqawi with his orders to bomb Zirqawi's expected location. George Bush who has now deprived me of ever knowing who really killed my son.

For all of these reasons and that you know it is the right thing to do, IMPEACH GEORGE BUSH.

Yours in Peace,

Michael S. Berg
Father of Nick Berg, April 2, 1978 - May 7, 2004 Died near Fallujiah, Iraq.

2. Screw Impeachment it's INDICTMENTS we need to go after

Impeaching bush turns him into a neo-con martyr.

Fixing the country should be priority while behind the scenes investigations should be conducted which will no doubt lead to offenses and crimes punishable by federal time-HARD federal time.

6. Imagine what a head trip that would be

Knowing that as the end of your stolen terms approaches, there are international indictments loaded and waiting. The moment your successor takes office, the cops are going to grab your collar and say "You are under arrest".
