I know this is completely unorthodox to have so many posts in the same day, but--well when it rains it pours as they say. Here's an interesting first paragraph of a longer (and very provocative) article by a former advisor of the President's: Is lying about the reason for a war an impeachable offense? By John W. Dean (FindLaw) President George W. Bush has got a very serious problem. Before asking Congress for a joint resolution authorizing the use of U.S. military forces in Iraq, he made a number of unequivocal statements about the reason the United States needed to pursue the most radical actions any nation can undertake -- acts of war against another nation. Now it is clear that many of his statements appear to be false. In the past, Bush's White House has been very good at sweeping ugly issues like this under the carpet, and out of sight. But it is not clear that they will be able to make the question of what happened to Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) go away -- unless, perhaps, they start another war. --excerpted from http://www.cnn.com/2003/LAW/06/06/findlaw.analysis.dean.wmd/index.html
