The thought of impeaching Bush scares many people because Cheney would then be President. Talk about a bad solution. But what if the domestic spying activities could take down both Bush and Cheney together? Now, that sounds sweeeeet!
As has been pointed out in other places, Cheney was involved in illegal warrantless spying of US citizens even before 9/11. First he worked with the NSA to provide him the names of some US citizens that were swept up in NSA's normal and crappy survelliance. Getting the names was bad in of itself. BUT what was definitely illegal was that once Cheney had these names, he instructed the NSA to continue spying on some of these individuals. Regardless of whether the inital survelliance was legal, when you continue warrantless spying on US citizens, there is no question about it being illegal.
More below the fold.
We have to realize what an opportunity this provides America. This is the greatest two for one deal that has ever been offered. It demands a coordinated, two-prong attack. We need to increase the focus on Cheney's spying activities with the NSA prior to 9/11 as much as on Bush's program of illegal warrantless domestic spying after 9/11. By focusing on both, we may take them down together. Or, this could increase the chances that one of these guys will be taken down. And it could even lead back to the other person, taking him down on a second attempt. The longer this stays alive, the better chances of getting both these guys. So, lets focus on a two-pronged strategy, and stick it to both of them.
