My buddy David Swanson just gave a speech in Denver--"Peering Under the Plame Outing"--where he made the case for pursuing impeachment.

Here's an excerpt:
"Interestingly, when the top news story was impeachment of Clinton, and we had to watch Kenneth Starr walk to the end of his driveway to get his newspaper every morning, only 36 percent of Americans supported hearings to consider impeachment, and only 26 percent supported actual impeachment and removal.
Now, when impeachment simply does not exist in the media or Congress, 50 percent of Americans support impeaching Bush if he lied about the war. And a majority believes he lied about the war."

Here's the whole thing--it's definitely worth reading.
