WASHINGTON - As President Bush prepared to address Congress, some members of the House began calling for his impeachment - a call that has been growing over the last few months, when only the far fringes of the American left called for his ouster.

1 February 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
6 commentsFuture American lawyers to be proud of
Alberto Gonzales spoke before law students at Georgetown today, justifying illegal, unauthorized surveilance of US citizens, but during the course of his speech the students in class did something pretty ballsy and brave. They got up from their seats and turned their backs to him.
To make matters worse for Gonzales, additional students came into the room, wearing black cowls and carrying a simple banner, written on a sheet.
Fortunately for him, (...) -

Spies, Lies and Wiretaps
31 January 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
Editorial
A bit over a week ago, President Bush and his men promised to provide the legal, constitutional and moral justifications for the sort of warrantless spying on Americans that has been illegal for nearly 30 years. Instead, we got the familiar mix of political spin, clumsy historical misinformation, contemptuous dismissals of civil liberties concerns, cynical attempts to paint dissents as anti-American and pro-terrorist, and a couple of big, dangerous lies.
The first was that (...) -

Hearings, lawsuit slam Bush spying defense
29 January 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
WASHINGTON - The White House has unleashed a hard-line defense of the Bush administration’s spying on Americans without a warrant, claiming that only “credible threats” linked to al-Qaeda have been under surveillance and the snooping is necessary to protect “national security.”
Conveniently, a new Osama bin Laden tape diverted attention from a tidal wave of angry questions about the spying. But targets of the eavesdropping called it a dangerous assault on their constitutional rights, (...) -
