Sen. Wyden: Rumsfeld Should Be Held Accountable
By Kate Klonick - June 5, 2008, 4:34PM

As we've been reporting, Phase II of the Senate intel committee's report on pre-war intelligence on Iraq has been released, and all day lawmakers have been issuing statements of shock and incredulity.

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), a member of the authoring Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, called today for a review of whether then Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's testimony to Congress was true, given the information in the report.

Specifically cited are quotes from Rumfeld's testimony to the House Armed Services Committee on September 18 and 19, 2002:...http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/06/sen_wyden_rumsfeld_should_be_h.php

3. The grounds for impeachment are there.

The reason to proceed is there: To stop the bastards from starting a war with Iran.
