Question

http://www.house.gov/judiciary_democrats/iraqrept122005/iraqreptweb.htm


In brief, we have found that there is substantial evidence the President, the Vice President and other high ranking members of the Bush Administration misled Congress and the American people regarding the decision to go to war with Iraq; misstated and manipulated intelligence information regarding the justification for such war; countenanced torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment and other legal violations in Iraq; and permitted inappropriate retaliation against critics of their Administration.

There is a prima facie case that these actions by the President, Vice-President and other members of the Bush Administration violated a number of federal laws, including (1) Committing a Fraud against the United States; (2) Making False Statements to Congress; (3) The War Powers Resolution; (4) Misuse of Government Funds; (5) federal laws and international treaties prohibiting torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment; (6) federal laws concerning retaliating against witnesses and other individuals; and (7) federal laws and regulations concerning leaking and other misuse of intelligence.

Answer 1

yes.

Answer 2

Our Constitution began being eroded by the Supreme Court little by little until the Constitution was nothing more than a dusty trophy to our past. When Bush created the Patriot Act and Homeland Security he abrogated the Bill of Rights. This is shocking. Yet because of the fear of terrorists the American public never noticed. How can this be that the American public let George Bush nullify the Bill of Rights? Where was the outcry? Some judge now is vilified for overthrowing Bush's ability to spy on the American people. That judge ought to be praised by every freedom loving citizen. The problem is that the alternative party has no better answer. Both parties create bigger government that chips away the Constitution. Thomas Jefferson said that the government that serves the best, serves the least. We need a radical change back to individual freedom and a drastic shrinkage of big government. I believe the Libertarian Party is the only party with the right answers for this nation, and we need it desperately.

Answer 3

My question to you is, did you vote? Because if you did not you have no right complianing!

One reason that we are in Iraq is to protect our people and the Constitution of the United States. If Clinton had the BALLS to stay in Iraq in the 90's we would not be in this situation now. As well as the World Trade Center and the people that parished would most likely still be here. We are a country who stands up for the rights of people. The reason that our Constitution was put into place. Definition: Americans are people that have been oppressed in other countries and have come here to have freedom.

Answer 4

Why can't you just get over it. No-one now argues the war was right but it's happened. If your really saying you trusted your President or your politicians before the war you really should be worried that people like you have the vote. There is corruption in every political system so why be so shocked when it turns up in yours.Sorry just read Mohamed Salehs' comment. To be honest didn't read them all, so much misplaced passion. I appreciate America and the West may have not got it right but, seriously, look at the Middle East, can you see any sense of democracy? Tell me which country you think has the best model for going forward. Not for religious reasons but in the interests of all of its people?

Answer 5

Well, it looks like someone is doing something to avoid that.
Judging for the answers given I don't think that there was a person here who read the report you put the link of.
It seems that is an actual report presented to congress, I would have to assume by a Democrat. I will like to know who presented this to congress and when.

Answer 6

You are obviously consumed more by the hatred of your President, George Walker Bush, than you are in finding the truth. The entire western intelligence agency's all reported the existence of WMD's. Your President, George Walker Bush, took the information given to him by respected world agency's and used that information to form an educated opinion. Now hind sight is 20/20. But in the absence of actually having it, your president, George Walker Bush made the only decision he could have reasonably made. So stop your whining, turn all that hate to good use and contact your local liberal democrat and help them come up with a realistic platform, with attainable goals and ideas to help improve our country.

Answer 7

On May 21, 1999, Texas Governor George W. Bush responded to critical comments by saying, "There ought to be limits to freedom."
In his six years as President, Bush has demonstrated that he has little regard for the U.S. Constitution, often making up his own 'law' as he prefers. Such fascism is typical of dictators like Hitler and Stalin, but cannot be tolerated in the United States of America.
I believe our Constitution to be in crisis; but, I also firmly believe that the American voters are beginning to see through the Bush veil of secrecy and deception. Hopefully, they will send a strong message to the corrupt, evil, arrogant, incompetent, greedy Bush administration and the worst U.S. Congress ever to occupy Capitol Hill in the mid-term elections.
Granted, even if all the rotten Republicans are replaced with Democrats, the stench of the political cesspool won't diminish. But it's a start..... -RKO-

Answer 8

Obama who's a criminal expert and went to the main suitable regulation college interior the rustic takes the form very heavily. the quote you have given would not communicate approximately what he thinks ought to ensue yet is his assessment of the warren courtroom. and that i think of his assessment that the form says what the state won't be able to do to you, and it would not say that lots approximately what the federal government ought to do for you. Obama additionally would not like the assumption of courts placing public coverage. i think of he might fairly the legislator come to a decision gay marriage and abortion rights and affirmative action. He thinks that while you're for any of those issues or carry any place on any coverage, you're greater useful served working to get the legislator to amend the regulations then attempting to tension your opinion on others by a courtroom decision. Obama has no longer been very forceful in filling his courtroom appointments he has spent no political capitol on them. Obama's economic coverage is likewise hardly for the redistribution of wealth, his rules have helped those that have money make greater and those that don't, properly he's hardship-free with of it is perplexing for us and he feels our soreness. the comparable people who ran the Bush economic coverage run the Obama economic coverage.

Answer 9

Yes, this president has expanded his powers well past constitutional limits, this under guise the undeclared war on terrorism. He has well overstepped his bounds and should be taken to trial by the congress for it. However with a repuglican majority it isn't likely to happen although the speaker of the house is taking him to court on his use of signing statements and there is always a hope that he will overstep enough to rile the repuglicans in congress to grow some nads and do something about it.

Answer 11

Yes, under Bush we are in jeopardy of having our privacy's, liberty's taken away under the excuse of "national security". Experts believe this is why Bush doesn't care about Bin Laden, because Bin Laden is Bush's boogey man.

Under George Bush's Patriot Act (or as other people call it George Bush's Orwells 1984 act) are constitution will be a thing of the past http://www.epic.org/privacy/terrorism/usapatriot/default.html
