'Given that the consequences can be death for hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands of people--as well as the diversion of vast sums of money to the war effort--the fraud cannot be tolerated. That both Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon were guilty of misleading the nation into military action and neither was impeached for it makes it more, not less, important to hold Bush accountable.'
The Bush admin can only be brought down on the grounds that Holtzman suggests-the president's violation of the constitution. If he is found to have allowed anyone to violate the torture bill, as his statement said he has the implicit right to do, he can be easily impeached-straight violation of legislative power of a bill that has more bipartisan report than anything we've seen in 5 years.
