No More Investigations Please by David Swanson

In a December 31, 2007, editorial, the New York Times faulted the current president and vice president of the United States for kidnapping innocent people, denying justice to prisoners, torturing, murdering, circumventing U.S. and international law, spying in violation of the Fourth Amendment, and basing their actions on "imperial fantasies."

Bush's and Cheney's crimes stand open on the table before us. Their lies about Iraqi ties to al Qaeda are on videotape and in writing, and they continue to make them to this day. Their claims about Iraqi weapons have been shown in every detail to have been, not mistakes, but lies. Their threats to and lies about Iran are on videotape. Bush being warned about Katrina and claiming he was not are on videotape. Bush lying about illegal spying and later confessing to it are on videotape. A federal court has ruled that spying to be a felony. The Supreme Court has ruled Bush and Cheney's system of detentions unconstitutional. Torture, openly advocated for by Bush and Cheney and their staffs, is documented by victims, witnesses, and public photographs. Torture was always illegal .....

1. As the high priest said

What further need of witnesses have we? The record is clear, and further investigation is superfluous. With the facts out in the public record now, impeachment, conviction and removal from office is a snap. Further proceedings for criminal penalties could then occur, but the first thing is to get the blood-stained hands of these greedy fuckers off the levers of our government. They have failed, willfully and repeatedly, to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution, which is their only charge of office.
