I'm writing this to call attention to a bit of depressing but bang-on analysis from Glenn Greenwald's latest on the Klein/FISA story. The saddest thing about the entire saga is the Democrats' inability to respond effectively (with the exception of Rush Holt), leaving it up to people like Greenwald, kos, etc., to correct the record.

Hi - the recent talk about impeachment has gotten to me again.  Two ideas in particular I want to address, which are common in arguments opposing impeachment. I call them "misperceptions" because I don't think they are correct, yet they influence a lot of people's thinking on the subject, including, apparently, Nancy Pelosi's (whom I have a lot of respect for).

(FYI - I favor impeachment for Bush and the rest. In fact, we had a campaign that led our village board to pass a resolution on it. It was fun.)

And onto the diary ....

What are we gonna do?

In an article entitled Taking Impeachment on the Road, Dave Lindorff details two recent experiences with disparate elements of the anti-Bush universe. And guess what? He thinks we're more on target - we who want engage the electoral process to reform the Democratic party from below - than the International Socialist Organization and those who pooh-pooh electoral politics.

Lindorff is author of the newly published The Case for Impeachment.

Tremendous analysis in the Black Commentator of Barack Obama's inability to take a serious position on Iraq, which should be of special interest here after the flap about the kossacks' response to his post a few months ago.

U.S. Senator Barack Obama has planted his feet deeply inside the Iraq war-prolongation camp of the Democratic Party, the great swamp that, if not drained, will swallow up any hope of victory over the GOP in next year's congressional elections. In a masterpiece of a double-speak before the prestigious Council on Foreign Relations, November 22, the Black Illinois lawmaker managed to out-mush-mouth Sen. John Kerry - a prodigious feat, indeed.
