Iraq war lies and impeachment: Official Washington tiptoes round the “i” word
By Patrick Martin

As chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee in 2001 and 2002, Graham is in possession of far more information that has yet been made public about the September 11 terrorist attacks, the war in Afghanistan and the war in Iraq. He has repeatedly hinted that the full truth about the “war on terrorism,” were it to come out, would be damning to the Bush administration.

In an extremely convoluted and cautious way, the senator from Florida has raised explosive political issues: the legitimacy of the 1998 impeachment of Clinton, and of the American invasion and conquest of Iraq.

The consensus in official Washington is that such issues must not be raised, because they call into question not only the conduct of the Bush administration, but the legitimacy of the entire US political and media establishment, which is complicit in the extreme-right takeover of the federal government. Hence the vitriolic response by Hume and Russert, both of whom suggested—more by tone of voice than by language—that even to mention the word impeachment in the same sentence with Bush was proof of political derangement.

Graham, for his own reasons, has touched a nerve in the body politic. The hostile political and media reaction to his comments on impeachment demonstrates both the fragility of the Bush administration—whose public support is largely illusory—and growing nervousness in the Washington establishment over the mounting social, political and military crisis which this government confronts.

impeachment. This issue isn't going away. The Dems need to keep on hammering on this.

4. First things first

I think before impeachment planning, we need to find a way to get more insiders to "spill the beans" like Ambassador Wilson did. Without a modern day John Dean, there is no chance for impeachment.

5. Fun to watch the media whores squirm..

As an in-the-know and well-known moderate such as Graham states the obvious - that Bill Clinton's crimes and misdeameanors are no comparison to Bush's. That is shocking.. shocking to hear for the media whores!

Regardless of who gets the nomination, for his contributions Graham should not be overlooked for the VP slot this time around. Plus, for obvious reasons, he would add strength to the ticket if Kerry or Dean turn out to be the eventual nominee.
