The Department of Justice annual gay pride event will not be allowed to go on this year, courtesy of John Ashcroft. Apparently, everyone gets a celebration but us. Thanks, John!

Now, far too late to save to save Kirk Straseskie or console his father, the press and the intelligence community have begun to wake up to the fact that they and the American people were deceived. We�re finding out that Colin Powell denounced some of the claims about Iraqi weapons as �bullshit� before his speech to the UN in February. A newly formed group called Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity wrote a letter to the President protesting “a policy and intelligence fiasco of monumental proportions.” An Army intelligence officer told Time Magazine that Donald Rumsfeld was �deeply, almost pathologically, distorting the intelligence“. Greg Thielmann, recently retired from the State Department Bureau of Intelligence and Research says that the Bush administration �was grossly distorting the intelligence� on both weapons and the Iraq-Al Qaida connection.

Interesting — John Dean is saying that George Bush’s lies about mythical weapons of mass destruction are enough to warrant him being impeached. And John Dean would know, wouldn’t he?
And in other news, historians are confirming what I said all along; that the Clinton impeachment attempts were unconstitution and illegitimate, and right-wing partisanship at it’s worst. It was indeed a “vast right-wing conspiracy” and it undermined the ability of both the president and congress to do their jobs — and lead directly to the events of September 11th. If it had not happened, Al Gore would be president; if Gore were president the intelligence memos would not have been ignored; if the intelligence memos had been followed up on, the WTC attacks would have been prevented.
