Using yesterday’s Washington Post’s op-ed pages, ex-Democratic presidential candidate, George McGovern, said this about the current US executive leadership. George_McGovern

McGovern’s bio is a fascinating read: A gym teacher once called him a "physical coward" and being afraid of heights, McGovern earned a pilot’s licence to prove himself. He volunteered in the US Army Air Force flew a number of missions in a B-24 bomber in WWII, often against heavy anti-aircraft artillery. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for saving his crew by crash-landing his damaged bomber on a Mediterranean island.

He later ran for US President in 1972 but was defeated by Richard Nixon in a landslide (61% to 38%). We know what "happened to" Richard Nixon later.

McGovern makes a logical case for impeaching Bush/Cheney, based on the evidence at hand: Lies/misleading statements about Iraq, transgression of national and international law (sanctioning torture, illegal extraditions of suspects to countries that torture), illegal wiretapping of US citizens, etc. The US is no banana republic and even its leaders are bound by the rule of law. If the leaders ignore he rule of law, thus committing "high crimes and misdemeanors", then according to the US Constitution they must be held accountable. Hard to argue with that position.
