Silence is betrayal – impeach Bush 4029-2008

April 29, 2008                        Silence is betrayal – impeach Bush

In an unguarded moment, the Nation’s chief executive, George Bush, told millions of viewers on ABC News that he had approved torture of US detainees – including waterboarding. In his interview, Bush freely admitted that Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, Donald Rumsfeld, Colin Powell and George Tenet collectively approved the decision and by doing so, had committed high crimes – for which there is one Constitutional remedy – impeachment. This stunning admission flies in the face of previous public statements. There is no longer any need for an investigation following Bush’s admission of guilt. This finally clears the way for a senate vote for removal of Bush and Cheney and prosecution of Condoleezza Rice, Donald Rumsfeld, Colin Powell and George Tenet who have violated their oath of office to uphold the Constitution. Our Nation is in urgent need to remove these lawbreakers from high office before they commit our Nation to more reckless adventures. Finally, we should heed the wise words of Dr. Martin Luther King who famously said, "A time comes when silence is betrayal.”
