Good for Bush.

I am glad he did that.

This is the most dishonest and dishonorable administration we've seen since Watergate of 40 years ago.

It's not ironic that these two goons belong to a cult called the sculls. They’re bent with the idea of death and destruction, turmoil, confusion, anger and lies. Impeach both Bush and Cheney and give them a one-way ticket to Riker’s Island. The media should be ashamed of themselves by not televising the truth to the American public. Give Obama a chance to railroad these thieves right into the slammer. McCaine rime’s with Novocain –wich means that this guy will hide the pain and misery these two thugs has caused us all. Obama 08.

John, YOU are the one drinking the Koolaid.
Yes, Clinton replaced all of the US Attorneys at the beginning of his term. Not in the middle of his term, and NOT in retaliation for them making decisions that we not favorable to republicans. No administration is perfect, but there has never been one that has been as corrupt, secretive and power hungry as this one. The entire lot should be behind bars

Their eventual demises will be celebrated as national holidays...

YOU PEOPLE THAT DISBELIEVE ARE GONNA DROP YOUR MOUTHS WHEN YOU REALLY FIND OUT WHAT THIS ADMINISTRATION IS REALLY CAPABLE OF DOING. HOPEFULLY IT WILL COME OUT IN THE END.

THE MEDIA DIDN'T AND STILL DOESN'T KNOW, SO HOW CAN THEY COVER SOMETHING THEY DON'T KNOW ABOUT?

Funny thing about tolerance – it gets you more of the same.

So if you don't mind living in a place where your school is dumbed down to ensure illegal aliens who don't speak English can graduate, then by all means, tolerate it.

I would rather see the laws upheld and EVERYONE held to the same standard. If someone is here illegally, deport them – regardless of how many anchor babies they have. Do not tolerate law breaking!

If someone isn't making the grade, hold them back. If their feelings are hurt by that, too bad. They can try again and study more, get a 504 or IEP or free tutoring or any of the other gazillion aids that are out there. Do not tolerate mediocrity!

If someone uses the N word and gets fired, then EVERYONE who uses the N word gets fired. Do not tolerate double standards!

Intolerant people unite!

Bush and Cheney not only hate the Constitution of the United States of America, but they hate the Rule of Law in general. While their being complicit in the 9/11 attacks, as many believe, may or may not be true, one thing is certain, there is definitely suspicion that they could have had something to do with it. As such, they should be bagged in the middle of the night and brought to Gitmo for some "harsh interrogation".

Like I said, they might well be innocent, but is that a risk we are willing to take? They made their own beds, now let them lie in them.

democracy is dead...scary

Bottom Line:
Anyone dissatisfied with Bush should not vote for McCain, that includes those PUMA pukes

The corruption in this administration is so pervasive that if Bush doesn't get impeached in the next several months, then he should be jailed once he's out of office along with Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rice.

Just more smoke and mirror games from the Dems. Of course any interview with the CIA and VP involved would be under executive privilege. You lefties had better come up with some much better stuff then this or this election is going to look like a McCain steamroller.

Compared to the Bush and Cheney nightmare, the Nixon administration got a raw deal. Watergate did not get over 4,000 american troops killed. Since our gutless Congress says "impeachment is off the table", what about trying them for war crimes? Holding Bush and Cheney accountable would show the rest of the world the U.S. presidency is not above international law.

Since his selection by the Supreme Court, Bush's lies leading to an unjust war, corruption of no-bid contracts to cronies, and total disregard for the Constitution have degraded our executive branch to that of a third-world dictatorship.

Sadly. No matter who the next president is, these two will sail into the sunset laughing all the way.

They already know that nobody in Congress has the nuts to do anything to them.

I don't quite understand why, but it might have something to do with wiretapping their political enemies who don't want any dirt on them exposed.

These characters have more stuff to keep secret then, secret squirrel. Uh, most have something to hide?

I connot wait until they are out of office and fair game!!

CWH = Crooks In the White House!
Is America ready for a Bi-racial President?
Yes, a brillant man with integrity.

Obama/Biden 2008

As everyone else has said, this is not excusable AT ALL. Impeach them all NOW.

If I ever get required to testify in court I'll just say "why? If the leaders of our country don't have to, why do I?"

Re: Satire on Obama.
Much has been said on NPR, CNN and other networks about the Barrack-Michelle Satire's place in political life. Many are very offended. But the truer debate should be if the cartoon moves the debate from concerns such as the economy, Medicare, rising oil prices, Iraq war, et al. And if so, was this the foreseeable editorial intent. More, how long should we allow this truer debate to continue?

You cannot question the "Bush Administration" period. They are beyond reproach.

I say take Bush and Cheney to the world courts in '09.

Okay, so amnesty to phone companies for breaking the very clearly defined law and sharing personal records....

BUT...impeach Bush for using Executive Priviledge...

No wonder illegal aliens think they have every right to be in this country when liberals ignore the laws that are inconvenient and invent ones that don't exist because it is politically advantageous.

BTW – I think Bush and Cheney should both be impeached but on the grounds they lied to Congress and the American public in 2002, not over this crud.

If Democrats had half the nutz they claim they would have impeached them both when they took over Congress to show the rest of the world that we won't tolerate lies from our elected officials.

Colonists revolted against a trynical government for far less crimes by King George the third then what this administration has dished out.

These two and others have committed Nixon type crimes so frequently, how could anyone investigate them all? I wonder what will be in Bush's library considering most of the e-mail is erased or the crimes are "executive privelege." I pray that they don't start another war before Nov.

Amazing, how we keep letting these men get away with so much. Would someone send in a Monica Lewinsky type so that we may impeach them?

And what does his pal McBush say on this?

"One has to wonder at the intellectual capacity of the 28% of the country that still thinks this administration is doing a good job."

There's no wondering here. This is a group of drooling morons.

Let the interview set for now. If the Democrats get in the White House, we can see what to make of it all and if Chaney is found guilty we can convict with out a pardon.
for all his crimes it would be like convicting Capone for tax evasion, Not just but the best we might be able to do.

How the hell did We the People allow these two jokes into the two highest offices in the land?

I swear, if these two don't get brought up on criminal charges, it will be the greatest getting-away-with-murder case in history.

So much for wanting to get to the bottom of it.
So, if the CIA people are to go get the bad guys, why does President Bush get any credit for being a leader of war on terror (at least against Americans) when he's not making prosecution of people who out -"hurt" – those CIA people who have the job of protecting us?
Or, giving pardons to those who were convicted of being part of the team who hurt the CIA people?
I wont go all out and say treason like Texas Trail Dog, but come on people. And we want more of this type of governance under Senator McCain? Or the exec signatures on legislation he doesn't agree with?

It's time for a change.

I really wish the Supreme Court had an opportunity to rule on Executive privilege and educate Bush and his cronies on how far it actually extends. Then we can have the fine people he appointed to office testify to Congress without the benefit of their illusory privilege.

Veteran for McCain - you win the PRIZE! - I have never heard such infantile, intellectually bankrupt equivocating in my life. I now see what it takes for an individual to be one the 29% true-believers. That people like you have your hands on the controls of a democracy is truly frightening. The image of a slack-jawed twit in front of a broken-down still with a swastika on it just won't go away.......

"Executive privilege"?!!!! Sounds like, "above the law privilege".

Why can't we hold these guys accountable? They belong in prison!!!! Nixon resigned for so much less, and Clinton was impeached for nothing compared to this. Impeach them!

If we don't do something, what does our system mean?

Mukasey, by the way, is showing his true colors. That man is now an accessory to all this administration's crimes by keeping them under wraps and safe from scrutiny. He belongs in prison now too.

If he has nothing to hide, why not release the documents?

There is no room to complain about anything Bush has done or not done. This what America wanted in 2000 and 2004. Don't complain now!

This and the war are the reason I would not be able to vote for McCain.

Both say they are moral yet this type of politics is not moral. I can’t morally vote for anyone who voted for the war and continues to say they should stay in this unwarranted war. Both Bush and McCain voted for it and continue to legitimize an unwarranted war.

If someone votes for McCain its like saying to the Republican party that its ok to do this type of politics.

Economy in shambles, unwarranted war, cover-ups, CIA squealing, mortgage crisis, record debt, …………

THIS IS UNAMERICAN!!!!

KEEP THE FAITH!!!

What happened to punishing those responsible, George?

The President is keeping the doubling of the national debt under wraps, too.

Rob, It would have been ok to fire all the attorneys, but to pick who to fire based on how aggressively an attorney pursued Dem's is against the law. But this article was not about that particular illegal act, it was about another illegal act that was much worse. Bush lied about the reasons we went to war and to cover that fact up he commited treason by exposing a US CIA operative.

Clearly impeachable stuff- he belongs in jail. Better to wait to bring charges so Cheney will not pardon him after he is impeached.

All of you who support Bush should be forced with live with the Taliban because you're mentality isn't far off. Intolerance is your motto.

veteranformcain--yes clinton lied and had sex in the whitehouse but he didnt tell a lie that got thousands killed and he didnt give tax breaks to the rich so he could run up the national debt. and clinton and gore didnt both make millions off the war and out of control gas prices.

I recall the quote from when the Watergate scandal had erupted. I don't recall who said it, but the quote is as relevant now as it was then. "Someone who doesn't have anything to hide should come as clean as a hounds tooth."

I guess this administration has a great deal to hide!

If Bush and Cheney spent the rest of their lives behind bars, it wouldn't be long enough.

Is this an example of where the apple (G.W. Bush) infested with a worm (D. Cheney – member of both administrations) fell so far from the 'Tree' Daddy Bush?

No wonder G.W. Bush hasn't supported the Kioto Treaty, Go Green by approving offshore, in your eye Arnold S, drilling.

Solution – Each of these gentlemen get lifetime salaries of $400K per year for Bush and $? for Cheney. Obama/McCain – will you solemnly to GARNISH their lifetime salaries until the Error on Terror is completed paid back? – PLEASE

The leak came from Cheney's office which means it was approved my Mr. Cheney himself. Enough said. That is the reason people did not want to cross people in the Bush Administration.

Kim from Dallas, TX,

Your comment: Yes, Clinton was held responsible for FAR LESS than what has been covered up with Bush and company (AKA the Bush Crime Family).

My comment: Are you kidding me? Bush is doing what ANY other President would do and that's protect his VP. In this case who knows what the transcripts say, but if they are released then that sets a prescedent. One that then leaves no past discussions, meetings, private hearings safe from the public. I'm sorry but there are some things that we (as the general public) don't need to know. I would love to hear some of the things that Clinton said during his trials and such, but I never will and I'm ok with that. As for Bill doing FAR LESS than President Bush, don't think so. He not only committed adultery as President, but he did it in the OVAL OFFICE for goodness sake. He then lied about it when everyone already knew what happened. He lowered the world's opinion of us and gave the wrong impression to our youth about what moral's they should follow.

Hey Kathy did you forget about Jimmy Carter? Double digit inflation, gas rationing, Iran hostages, it sure didnt take Reagan long to get our captives back. Yeah Bush hasnt been the greatest but Jimmy Carter is by far the worst we've had thus far. And if Obama wins it will be close as to who is worse him or Jimmy.

I agree mostly with John (2:23 pm ET). Are Bush's actions questionable – OF COURSE. But its not like other administrations (Democratic and Republican alike) were that much different. Its just par for the course.

I want a different administration enough to vote for an unknown commodity.

Obama '08!

If we had an Attorney General worth his/her salt with Senator Kuccinch's guidance we could have ended the Error on Terror, The Leak near the Potomic and Corruption on the Hill years ago.

Unfortunately Justice has been BLIND to acts on the AMERICAN public for the past 7+ yrs.

Now these two have destroyed not only the American Dream of home ownership but are now trying to keep it under wraps, it seems the only body that's ensuring the 'truth' be known is CNN.

To bad it will be 25 yrs before the real 'truth' be known. A generation of our children will be exposed to this unethical and immoral example until the 21st Century version of the 'Pentagon Papers' is published.

WORST PRESIDENT EVER.

Sad this is one of the most secretive Administrations in our life time. Obama 2008!

Another cover up, what is new? Yet not one person can do anything about this, that is why he just keeps putting the screws to US (the people) and then just smiles (that sh smile of his). This is worst than Watergate and Bush and Cheney have NO RESPECT for anything or anyone. We do have a Constitution but Bush has done away with this. Bush and Cheney are the worst people that could have held this office, they have done so much damage to the people of the USA and the world. November can't come soon enough.

Bush Administration gets away with so much – why does this administration has so much power? Does the Constitution mean anything to the Administration? I mean I sort of knew nothing will come out of this issue – I mean this Administration get away with anything ... then when I read the out come I am like okay... but when I think deeply I am like why? Why, why, why is he not up for impeachment? Why does Chaney can make major contract deals, shoot friends, and out our own people and get away with it... now I am terrified! We have to change the imbalance of power as it has been totally abused. The only way to go is Obama in 08 as McSame or McBush will be just as abusive – their policies mirror!

this whole administration should be tried in international courts, you can pick the charge! this is what happens when the population does nothing but accept their representatives word that they are doing the people's work! i say, keep all our tax dollars in this country until we start doing what 70% or more of the people want! ATTENTION!! we have the right under the constitution to withhold our tax dollars until the government does its job right? its the only way! otherwise we'll continue to finance the world's problems and make tyrants like these wealthy!

Both Bush and Cheney are a disgrace to this country. They have run the United States and it's reputation into the ground. They should be brought up on charges as soon as they leave office. Especially Cheney! THUGS is too good a word for either of them.

I am 55 years old and Bush is the absolute worst president we have had since I have been voting. Even Nixon was not as bad. The only good feeling I have is that I NEVER voted for the loser.

They allso need to tell the people how many times did Jack Abramoff go to the white house. Bush administration is not transparent.

SAy no to Mc-Copy Cat BuSh

Another nail in the coffin for this corrupt administration and another reason to vote for Obama. McCain will do nothing to see that the details of this corruption comes to light.

I mean... it's so blatant, their disregard for the law and separation of powers.

Vote NONE OF THE ABOVE!! Jesse Ventura!

Vote for a third party candidate to send your message to all politicians!

If Democrates are really FOR THE PEOPLE then they would start calling for empeachment immediately.

Anyone catch his speech yesterday? Is there somewhere I can see it again.... I need to hear the last question and his responce.

Also in that speech, he justified the war by saying the Iraqi people invited us! I fell down laughing.

Dictator Bush lives.

OBAMA/OSAMA 08!

MCCAIN 08!
HILLARY 12!

It amazes me that there are still people defending this crooked joke of an administration and are quick to jump on the Clinton administration. My mother always said I love you regardless but when you are wrong I will not defend you. So hey, the Clinton administration may not have been perfect but their mistakes didn't completely ruin our credibility in the eyes of the rest of the world.

OBAMA TO CATCH OSAMA. NOT A CHANCE.

MCCAIN 08!
HILLARY 12!

What the Bush Administration has done, had it been in any other country, America will be trying to punish the heads of the state for War Crimes and invading the country to bring justice to its people and promote democracy.......Ha.

Nothing I hear about Bush and Cheney surprises me anymore.

Wasn"t it Richard Armitage who leaked Valerie Plames name? And it was wrong that Bush commuted Scooter Libbys sentence.

Clinton Democrats for Cynthia McKinney !!!

Clinton Democrats for Cynthia McKinney !!!

I'll admit that no administration is perfect, and it is common for people to blame the government for all the problems in the universe. That said, I must state that the Bush administration needs to realize that EVEN THEY are not above the law. If you campaign on the notion that you are the more moral party, you had better be ready to live by those words yourselves...or the very people who elected you will hang you on them.

Vote Obama in 2008!

Throw them in Prison, what's the hold up??????

(CYNTHIA 08)And just like the women and men at the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 who declared their independence from the Old Order, I celebrated my birthday last year by doing something I had done a dozen times in my head, but had never done publicly: I declared my independence from every bomb dropped, every threat leveled, every civil liberties rollback, every child killed, every veteran maimed, every man tortured, and the national leadership that let this happen. At that pro-peace rally in front of the Pentagon, I noted that nowhere on the Democratic Party's Congressional Agenda for their first 100 days in the majority was any mention at all of a livable wage, the right of return for Katrina survivors, repealing the Patriot Acts, the Secret Evidence Act, the Military Commissions Act, or bringing our troops home now. Nowhere on the Congressional Democrats' agenda was an investigation into the Pentagon's "loss" of $2.3 trillion that Rumsfeld admitted to just before September 11th. And nowhere was there any plan to get that money back for jobs, health care, education, and for veterans. Not even repeal of the Bush tax cuts that have helped to usher in, according to some, levels of income inequality not experienced in this country since the Great Depression. And instead of Articles of Impeachment to hold the criminals accountable, impeachment was taken "off the table."

the simple fact is that republicans don't deserve a third term. they have failed at taking care of their own nation. it's disgusting how they have abandoned New Orleans, DISGUSTING and UNAMERICAN. Cheney and Rumsfield did succeed at what their true agenda was to invade Iraq and cut taxes for the rich. vote for John McCain at your own peril, just disgusting. Have you no shame?

I WIILL MAKE THIS VERY SHORT and to the POINT....
PRESIDENT BUSH "BELIEVES" he is KING BUSH...
BOTH him and V.P. Chaney have VERY LTTLE respect for the balance of power that OUR CONSTITUTION is based on.....
NOVEMBER can't come soon enough...The last eight years will be a GLOWING EXAMPLE of what happens when you elect a person of average intelligence and make them the leader of the MOST POWERFUL nation on the planet. Not only do they screw up that nation (US) they mess up the ENTIRE PLANET...WHAT a POOR President he has been ...
ASK YOURSELF THIS AMERICA..
ARE YOU BETTER OFF TODAY THAN YOU WERE WHEN THIS PERSON TOOK OFFICE??
My guess is for 85% of you the answer will be NO!!!

THESE TWO OIL MEN BELONG IN JAIL. FUNNY HOW THE GAS PRICES KEEP CLIMBING THE CLOSER THERE TERM DRAWS TO A CLOSE. POLITICS FOR PROFIT.

impeachment hearings for having some improper relations with an intern, sure... but impeach a president and his administration for an unjust war and the countless lives affected and deaths occured for our citizens and others? nah.

Brought to you by the Republicans!!!!!

Shame on you President Bush. We already know the answer anyway but this would have confirmed it.

The media plays something to do with Obama, and the men go gaga for him, while the women just swoon. And yet, not one of them can name anything that he has done to improve anything, never mind this nation. He says a lot, but since he says that he is going to do something for three hundred million people, you already know that he can't accomplish what he says.
McCain says that he is going to do something for our nation (one nation). That will be fairly easy for him, since he has already accomplished more than most Americans.

If we take Cheney at his word that the Vice Presidential office is not part of the Executive branch of the US government, then how can Bush's executive order stand? Either Cheney's office is part of the Executive branch, and the Presidential record keeping should have access to all of Cheney's documents (including "deleted" emails), or it isn't and Cheney's interview with the FBI is not protected by Bush's executive order. Have your cake. Eat it. Pick one.

Separation of powers.

Perfectly legal.

Some of you people need to go back to grade school

This should be good news for Hillary Supporters.

Hillary already stood hand in hand with Bush/Cheney and proudly voted for the unnecessary war which has led to the deaths of over 4000 US soldiers and, by global news sources, well over half a million Iraqi women, children and other non-combatants.

And now many of Hillary’s supporters are flocking to McCain and the second coming of Bush/Cheney in an attempt to empower their deep-seeded bitterness and conceal their own isolationist fear and bigotry.
This is what you want Hillary Supporters! Be Proud!

And God Bless America!

And these guys WEAR flag pins!! Wow...wonder why their patriotism isn't in question.

I hope they all go where they belong right after Obama is sworn into office...Levenworth Prison. But, my guess is that Dick Cheney will flee to Dubai to escape American justice.

I am voting for MCcain because this is the kind of government that he WILL provide; and that is the kind of government that knows how to protect the American people who matter.

All Obama wants to do is protect the common folks – sick!

These two need to be impeached. Two snakes and crooks that ruined this country.

Oh, the horror, the horror; the humanity, the humanity. You people are going to hyperventilate writing this fatuous nonsense.

@what?

No, they haven't made enough money. Why do you think they want off shore drilling? They are two Oil men who care nothing for this country. They only care about themselves, what is of benefit to them, and lining their own pockets.

DEMOCRATS UNITE!!!

This is an example of the Dems grabbing at anything to make Bush look bad,every Admin can fire any US attorney they want (Clinton fired every one of them when he came in). Does any of this help reduce the price of gas or help improve the economy? No wonder the Congress has the lowest approval ratings ever, they have done nothing that they promised. They said they would stop the war in Iraq, but have given Bush everything he asked for and sorry for you people who write in these comments WE ARE WINNING THERE despite all the screaming from the Dems. They said they would reduce gas prices, the price is up about 2 dollars a gallon since they took controll and all they do is say no to Bush about drilling and Nukes. Judging by what these commenters here and other places are saying, all the Dems have been successful diong is whipping up a frenzy of pure irrational hatred for Bush.
Congratulations.

JFK role over one more time. The cover up's continue.

truelly we all know they believe there is nothing after death, responsible for the death of million, the hard ship of millions more, lie after lie and a belief that they truelly deserve more than average America. Sounds alot like a group from old england? Can anyone say Templar

If you didn,t LIE...Then TESTIFY...

the worst president ever is what i meant. i am at work... vote obama.. we need change.. if your happy with the way things are then vote mccain simple as that.. !!!!

IMPEACH BUSH! IMPEACH BUSH! IMPEACH BUSH!

PLEASE IMPEACH THIS INCOMPOTENT LIAR! WHETHER IT' S UNDER OATH OR NOT. HE'S STILL A LIAR, AND LOOK WHAT HIS LIES HAVE COST US. OVER 4000 OF OUR BABIES DEAD. THOUSANDS OF THEM WITHOUT DISFIGURED AND WILL NEVER BE THE SAME MENTALLY OR PHYSICALLY. OUR COUNTRY AND IRAQ IS A MESS BECAUSE OF THIS LIAR.

IMPEACH BUSH!

John Bush go to war with approval but this was base on a lie
someone in his White House tuyn in the name of a CIA agent thie in the time of war is Treason .And Mr Libby could been a fall guy but he got a nice Bush Pardon You are all into the kool-aid and do not the flavor

why of course! both of these guys must be impeached.

TEXAS TRAIL DOG;
belive me when i tell you this obama will go after bush and cheney remember obama is a civil rights attorney i bet that is one of the first things he does but with mccain bush cheney and the whole gang go free obama 08

Dear Bush:
Stop talking, stop thinking, and stop making decisions. Just go to the Lincoln bedroom and pretend you're sleeping. We won't mind.

If you need help packing your bags, let us know. We can't wait to help you go back to Crawford.

Why would Bush be willing to turn over something that would hurt him. He has never been honest and never will be.

The entire administration has done whatever they want and thumbed their nose at the American people and at the Congress. The thing that I find appalling is that Congress let them get away with it. Impeach Cheney and Bush, I say.

nothing new this is the president ever in our history and all involved in cover-up should be put in jail or better yet all those who want to stay in war should go over and fight...

What can you say, these two jokers have done so much damage and there is so much crookedness in this administration that there is no telling when we will ever gain world respect again or when we as citizens can be proud of our president/vice president.
HOpefully Obama will bring some dignity back to the office.

Are we supposed to be surprised?

In my opinion Dick Cheny, Karl Rove,Lewis "Scooter" Libby and the rest of Bush administration belong to Jail, they should not be running this country. Shame on those who voted for Bush twice, and I will bet they will vote for Mccain again, this people need to get their foot out of their A*ss and think before they vote this year.

John,
Either you are blind deaf and dumb or you are in cahoots with the dynamic crooked duo.

President Bush used executive privilege to avoid turning over FBI interviews with Vice President Cheney..........PURE CORRUPTION
YOU can Run but you can't Hide!!!........Don't forget the Pillsbury Dough Boy (KARL ROVE)...........you are soooo RIGHT on this ONE Texas Trail Dog

This will be John McCain if he wins. He and his VP will be listening to each other because no one else will be listening to them.

I remember when Nixon was impeached for covering up details of Watergate. The Watergate incident looks like a kiddie amusement park ride compared to the outing of a CIA agent by the Bush administration. Wake up people, Bush himself is up to his neck in this conspiracy and cover up! Why hasn't he been impeached and imprisoned?

To All George Bush Voters:

Stay home in November. Go watch paint dry, or move some rocks from one place to another. The thought of you selecting our next president makes me sick. It's too much pressure for you to think, and make a selection at the same time.

So November 4th, rearrange your living room furniture, anything just don't vote. If you have to vote, get some help, find out why you voted for a moron TWICE.

Why did they hold off on the contempt citation?

I understand that bush will be gone in Jan 2009, but the spoon-fed idiot and his henchmen still has enough time to cause havoc by starting a war with Iran. they are going to get Israel to strike in iran and we will be forced to defend ourselves. bush is counting on that,

This country cannot afford not to put the war criminals on trial. Please move this process along.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but for once I agree with "Texas Trail Dog" (everything except the part about Obama not be qualified for the job of prez).

GObama '08

What the hell is executive privilege? Are you kidding me? Is this another one of those secret tape's white houses, this guy needs to be impeached pronto and go to hell.

Are we surprised that he is keeping it under wraps Bush let us down, took us to war and now McCain wants to finish the job. Vote No to the GOP it is time for change.

Yeah McCriminal, we really want to continue a bush third term of criminal behavior in the white house. repuglicans must be hiding their head in the sand. I honestly don't know how any enlightened person could ever vote repuglican.

this white house is busier than a cat in a litter box coving up their mess. cover up is a cover no matter how you want to spin it. it doesn't matter republican or democrat. you may not want to blame bush for everything, but you have to wake up at some point and see the truth for what it is.

It's just more padding to the argument that this has been one of, if not the worst president + administration in HISTORY!

Time for a change folks ~ OBAMA '08

IMPEACH and then send them all to Prison

Bill Clinton was impeached for lying under oath.

Bush went to wear with military authorization by Hillary Clinton, John kerry, John Edwards, and numerous other Democrats who made the same case as Bush did going to war.

and with regards to Scooter libby, what about Sandy Berger? He sneaks out documents in his clothing, but obstruction for Scooter? Come on 4 people knew before he did.

and the US Attorney firings, well Clinton fired all but 1. Bush fires 8 and there is a conspiracy.

Stop drinking the kool aid people, how man administrations are perfect.

Kennedy got us so close to nuclear war without ever telling the american public to prepare

and 12 people a long wtih FDR thought pearl harbor was going to happen a week before December 7th and the only surprise about the attack was that the declaration of war was supposed to be delivered prior to the attack but the Japanese translator was slow in typing it from Japonese to English.

But I am sorry for interrupting your Bush bashing, but I would also suggest looking at Clinton's approval ratings from his presidency to get a refresher.

Wow! Why the heck haven't these two notorious criminals been IMPEACHED?????

He has to cover up because he doesn't want us to know how DUMB he is. So when there's a law that doesn't work for him–Executive Privilege.

He's a joke, and I blame any one who voted for him. It's not GW's fault (he knew he was a moron when he took office), it yours. Especially those who voted for him a second time–go get your brains checked.
In November, stay home-you shouldn't go anywhere near the polls.

Wow. I guess when you're the prez, you really can do anything you like. Bush's approval rating is in the toilet. What other signs are Congress waiting for? WE WANT BUSH IMPEACHED! If he gets away with raping this country and our civil liberties, what message does that send to future presidents? Sure, just get elected. Then you can do what ever you want. Just claim executive privilege and you'll never have to answer for your crimes. Disgraceful.

More despicable acts added to the pile of bush/cheney legacy.

Whats even more troubling is there are still so many brainwashed, ignorant people in the US that still think he's been a good president. Reading blogs and post praising what they've done for America is downright offensive. We need to put an end to this, an end to the tyranny of the republican regime and elect someone who actually has an interest in helping the American people.

Republicans claim they want to defend the consitituion and interprete it strictly, however one of the pillars of the constitution is transperancy in the government. This, and other action like it, dosen't prove Bush is trying to hide something illegal. However, keeping information from the public for the reason given is rediculus. The president cannot withhold information unless it is an issue of national security. Bush needs to respect the constitution and release these transcripts. Or someone should file a suit against him. Let the supreme court force him to release the documents.
Bush has abondoned all conservative idealogy. All conservatives claim they are for smaller government as Bush did, however this executive administration is bloated with power and ignores the transperancy that is supposed to highlight this office.

In a previous article, Congress is said to have sunk to yet another low public opinion level. Pelosi's "impeachment is off the table" pronouncement did it for me, and that was long before a lot of details came out about Bush administration malfeasance. Rome is burning.

Mukasey will join them in prison I hope.

It is so enraging that the Bush administration, you know the leader of that third of government that is supposed to execute and enforce the law, is presumptive enough to think that they are above the law but cowardly enough hide behind executive privilege rather than defend their actions. If they think what they did was right and was in the best interest of America, the should have the fortitude to defend their actions to the American people. After Bush leaves office, there will be no more executive privilege for them to cower behind and Cheney will have to answer for his actions. At this point I think that senate committees and the Justice department will be the least of his concerns. I am sure the ICC will have quite a few questions for him about his advocacy of torture. If he still refuses to answer questions, I guess they can always water-board him.

The past 7,5 years have been a tragedy for the US. There is only one thing that bothers me deeply. The consequences of the actions of the present administration under President Bush have killed and wounded thousands and thousands of innocent people. How can a great nation like the US allow this happening without an uproar of the mainstream media?

The time has come for the media in this country to begin in-depth
investigation, and reporting, on what this administartion has done
to either circumvent or cover-up it's law breaking.

McCain = Bush

IMPEACH BOTH. CHARGE RICE WITH WAR CRIMES! RUMSFELD TOO.

For anyone in congress not to impeach this President is just as crooked and Bush himself and his staff is

If we just wait until they are out of office, we won't have anyone who will bail them out when their presidency is over. Otherwise, we will have another Scooter Libby situation. I HOPE that they do get held responsible for all of the corruption this administration has done under the guise of executive privilege. Yes, Clinton was held responsible for FAR LESS than what has been covered up with Bush and company (AKA the Bush Crime Family).

Reminds me of the dutchboy putting his finger in the dam.Put your money in orange prison jumpsuit makers,the dodoo will hit the fan soon and hopefully many will get a chance to wear them.

Not a surprise...this administration has had a "holier than thou" attitude from the begining.It's legacy will be of 4000+ dead Americans thrown into the midst of an unwarrented INVASION of Iraq.

Coward.

This is bs

Making Nixon look like Mr. Rogers, for 7 years and counting...

LOOK AT THIS REAL PATRIOT BUSH........HOW ASHAMED WE ARE OF YOU AND THE JOKERS THAT WORK FOR YOU.

DAH not surprised!! 7 years of absolutely running our country into the ground. It amazes me of all the dirt just don't seem to be swept away That will be their legacy!!!! Easy act to follow.

VOTE FOR CHANGE ANY CHANGE would be better than more of the same!

Yeah I know more cover ups.

For those of you voting Re-thug-licant this election, think again. Do you want McBush to continue this cover-up? Obama has said he would revisit this type of activities by Bush with a view of bringing up justice.
Please think again....Say NO to McSame, say NO to Bush third term.

If there was nothing to hide this wouldn't be an issue.

HAD ENOUGHT YET ???????

Want four MORE years of this garbage????

Yeah we know, he's going to make someone an offer they can't refuse.

Can't wait to take our country back in November.

OBAMA 08
OBAMA 12

i am sooooo disappointed in nancy pelosi, john conyers, and most of the dems in congress, they have completely let us down.

there are a few FANTASTIC people in congress: defazio, sanders (i would LOVE to vote for President Sanders), brian baird (most of the time), waxman, blumenaur. i wish our congress was FILLED with wonderful, INTELLIGENT, HONEST people like them!!!! what an amazing country this would be!

I have not, and will not blame Bush for ALL that has gone wrong in his administration, allbeit a large portion does reside with in his stable. But the height of his injustices against the American People have brought me to a point that I must consider him a candidate for Crimes against humanity, and brought to trial in an international "War Crimes" case.
It is nearing a point that we as a nation must never let a power hungry tyrant of this nature EVER serve out the full term of their office again. His malicious intent and absolute path to remove any and all rights of citizens while garnishing supreme power in the executive office goes against EVERY moral/historic value this once great nation was built on.
We can NOT allow his kind to take anymore of our god given rights away. We MUST roll back all of his laws. We are no longer a free country, that has been systematically eradicated by the bush administration.
Hold him accountable, and hold his party accountable. Vote for anyone BUT a republican this election. NO MORE!

Why does this not surprise me? This administration has been not only a joke here but a joke around the world. There has been no checks and balances over the past almost eight years. I can't blame Bush because it is not his fault he got voted into office the second time. I blame the uninformed public with their knee-jerk vote.

After everything is said and done, I hope they will have to answer for the choices they made while in office and how they put their interests before the American voters.

GW is in need of a swift kick in the pants from his father.

Job and Country! Security....Chicken or the Egg...

They are all guilty and there is no statute of limitations on treason. These criminals will eventually be dealt with both here and at an International War Crimes Tribunal at the Hague...

nice to know that our current pres is doing everything he can to allow our current vice pres to break the law and get away with it. i canNOT wait until january. hopefully we can FINALLY usher in a new era of logic, ethics, and reform. vote obama.

By impeaching Bill Clinton, the Republicans forever lowered the bar, and Americans no longer take "impeachment" seriously.

Maybe they were actually thinking ahead when they behaved so stupidly and abominably.

Move cover-ups. Tick tock...come on November. I can't wait for those bums to leave.

Anyone who thinks that a McCain adminstration will be any different is dumber than a box of rocks or living in an alternate reality. He'll just add his own "personal" twist to the Bush/Cheney litany of terrorism and 9/11 the tag line of being a shot down pilot and a maverick (Which he isn't – just a really bad chameleon who gets caught changing his color for the issue of the moment. Remember he was considering being John Kerry's running mate four short years ago because he became disillusioned with the Republican party). My what a difference time makes and right now, Bush and Cheney look like choir boys compared to Grampy McSame. This is just a preview of the next four years of McCain in the oval office – minus the "I don't remember" and "I don't recall" Ronald Reagan moments.

Completely corrupt and outrageous. Thank God it's almost over...but not soon enough.

Two words:

Jail Now.

These criminals are individually aiding and abiding, obstructing, and continue to perpetrate premeditated constitutional and Geneva convention crimes.

I was really hoping that they would be impeached and brought to justice prior to their rein ending, but it seems like we will have to wait until they are just citizens to imprison them and remove them from society. Nice legacy, thanks for the memories.

Peace

Bush's leadership style could not be more dishonest and dictatorial. But
why are we not surprised?

One has to wonder at the intellectual capacity of the 28% of the country that still thinks this administration is doing a good job. They should be banned from ever being able to vote again due to proven stupidity. Those who want four more years of this kind of incompetence in the form of McCain should be listed as clinically insane and put on meds. Either that, or should be tried as traitors for willfully subverting the well-being of the country.

To all the avowed, right-wing mensas:

How would you react if all these Bush antics occurred on Clinton's watch?!

OBAMA IS YOU WILL TAKE A STAND TO PROSECUTE THE THREE INDIVIDUALS OF BUSH, CHENEY, AND ROBERT NOVAK THEN I WILL ON MY HONOR VOTE FOR YOU. I WILL FORGIVE ALL YOUR SHORTCOMINGS IF YOU SEE TO IT JUSTICE IS SERVED.

And now what? Congress should do everything they can to bring all of these republican crooks to justice, before bushes term is up.

If they don't it will be an injustice to the American people

This was an act of treason and the President of the United States is hindering the American Public from knowing what happened.

Where is the outrage from Bush's bff Candidate John McCain!

Hey Libs, stop your complaining!!

In doing this he has also kept the doors closed on all of the cheating, lieing and filth that happened diring the Clinton administration!!

Unbelievable. This administration of crooks has run roughshod all over the Constitution, yet very few have taken them to task for it.

Goes back to the headline in the English paper the day after the 2004 election...."How can 60 million people be so stupid?"

Well now bloggers be careful what you say here, you might just show up on "The List". The List is a necessity you know......... it was created to protect us from the big bad terrorist.

CNN, I heard Drew's report....we need a Blog discussion about "The List.

DEMOCRATS UNITE!!!

If I were you, George, I wouldn't release them either. Your evil administration has so much to hide. Maybe you better rethink that Presidential library...

NOW THIS IS SOMETHING TO GET YOUR TEETH INTO. THIS IS NEWS THAT NEEDS COMMENTS. BUSH, CHENEY AND ROBERT NOVAK ALL NEED TO BE TRIED FOR TREASON. BUSH AND CHENEY BECAUSE THEY GAVE UP THE NAME OF A SECRET SERVICE OPERATIVE THAT SHOULD BE PROTECTED BY OUR GOVERNMENT AT ALL COSTS. BOB NOVAK CAN NOT HIDE BEHIND THE FREEDOM OF THE PRESS ON THIS ONE. THIS MAN IS USELESS AND SO STUPID ANYWAY IT'S ABOUT TIME SOMEONE GOT A HOLD OF HIM AND GAVE HIM A GOOD JERK. HE WAS THE TOOL USED BY CHENEY AND BUSH TO PUT THE LADY'S NAME OUT THERE. WHAT IF SHE HAD BEEN MURDERED AND HER HUSBAND TOO. BUSH AND CHENEY DID ALL THIS TO GET EVEN WITH THE CIA OPERATIVE LADY'S HUSBAND BECAUSE HE DISAGREED WITH CHENEY. THIS IS TREASON OF THE HIGHEST CALIBER. ATTORNEY GENERAL DO YOUR JOB. DEMOCRAT PARTY IF YOU GOT ANY SUBSTANCE TO YOU OTHER THAN PUSHING AN UNQUALIFIED INDIVIDUAL FOR PRESIDENT YOU WILL TAKE THIS ALL THE WAY TO THE END ZONE. THESE MEN SHOULD BE STOOD AGAINST THE WALL AND GIVEN THE DEATH SENTENCE. THAT'S WHAT THEY USUALLY DO TO TRAITORS.

Lets see. This seems to be a claim for executive privilige, once removed! Boggles the imagination that an FBI file can be withheld from Congress using this privilege, which is supposed to protect the president from having his people divulge advice to the president. Once the FBI has information, the privilge is blown. Law School 101 people!!! That this admisration gets away with this stuff is a travesty!

This administration using "executive" privilege to protect the Bush / Cheney cronies? You don't say!

Release it Bush...what have you got to loose at this point?

Pure corruption at it's best!

When does the moving trucks get there?

WE LET THIS HAPPEN AND GO UN-NOTICED. THE MEDIA REPORTS IT JUST TO GIVE THE APPEARANCE OF CONCERN.

WAKE UP AMERICA.

ARE WE SURPRISED? The Bush/Cheney White House is so corrupt, so full of lies, secrets and lawlessness that they make Nixon look like a saint!

How about it Republicans? How do you defend YOUR pal, Bush?

And while you are at it can you explain how the so-called-fiscally-responsible-Republicans have built up a national debt of $10 TRILLION DOLLARS?

AND HOW COME AFTER CHASTISING OBAMA FOR WANTING TO TALK TO OUR ENEMIES.........SUDDENLY BUSH IS SENDING SOMEONE TO IRAN TO TALK ABOUT THE NUCLEAR ISSUE?????

This administration has stretched the meaning of executive privilege to include anything and everything. Maybe it's time to think about putting impeachment back on the table?

i hope those two saved all the money they made war mongering...they are going to need to buy an island in the SP because they are not going to be welcome here in the US. Imagine the first time in history that the Prez and his side kick have to escape from America....pity we had our chance in 04'. do you see why you can not vote for John 95% with Bush McCain? these guys have profited while turning America into a third world nation...

Wake up citizens!!! This man has run this beloved country into the ground!!! He and his gestapo have stepped on our civil liberties and laughed about it.!!!

When you see him wearing a military uniform in public you'll know the fascist playbook is complete!!!

those 2 thugs belong in JAIL!!!

their snubbing of the constitution and the will of the americans is despicable, unprecedented, criminal, inexcusable... and they dont give it any more thought than they do on their lunch order. they are both so dead inside, they are disgusting!

dont forget, americans, JOHN MCCAIN SUPPORTS AND BELIEVES IN THESE THUGS AND THEIR POLICIES!!! voting for mccain is completely ridiculous-and totally UNAMERICAN!!!!!

This is not news we know the media is scared to death of the Bush Crime Family. So why report CNN, NBC and ABC will newver go after these guys the media just answers yes master.

I can't believe Bill Clinton was impeached for far less.

of course. they dont want to go to jail ,before they establish their 'legacy'.

After this administration is ushered out of office, the hearings, indictments and trials should begin – immediately.

This administration has shown the most disdain for the basic rule of law and respect of the U.S. Constitution I have ever seen, and I thought that was impossible after Nixon!

But it was important to impeach and try a man for getting his jollies in the White House, right?!

And McCain's comment on this is?

Bush Administration involved in yet another cover up....what else is new?
