Evidence Against Bush

No president deserves impeachment more than Bush, and that includes Nixon. I do not think that we really need more evidence against Bush to explore the option, but if this story leads to more, then it will speed up our advancement toward the inevitable.

CIA acknowledges Bush signed secret directive on interrogating terror suspect
The contents of the documents were not revealed, but one of them is "a directive signed by President Bush granting the CIA the authority to set up detention facilities outside the United States and outlining interrogation methods that may be used against detainees," the civil liberties union said, based on its review of published accounts.

The second document, according to the group, is a Justice Department legal analysis "specifying interrogation methods that the CIA may use against top Al Qaeda members."

Civil liberties lawyers said they would urge public disclosure of the contents of the documents. "We intend to press for release of both of these documents," Jameel Jaffer, a lawyer for the group, said in a statement. "If President Bush and the Justice Department authorized the CIA to torture prisoners, the public has a right to know."
