Fitzgerald for Impeachment Probe?

Better late than never:

In a letter asking the Justice Department to expand the scope of Fitzgerald's investigation, [Rep. Jerrold] Nadler [Dem., NY] says: "We now have reason to believe that high crimes may have been committed at the highest level [and] wrongdoing that may have led us to war and imperiled our national security.”

We now have reason to believe? My God, have we all got our heads in the sand? I understand that the Democrats don't want to appear blood-thirsty, and have the impeachment effort come off as a partisan political move (it should never be partisan, but it is and must be inherently political). But, come on folks. It was clear from the opening salvo in the WMD campaign that we were basing our public motivations for invading Iraq on lies. Not "bad intelligence," but lies.

In quotes picked up by the Ithaca Journal, [Rep. Maurice] Hinchey [Dem., NY] said in August: "My greatest hope is that all of these things will be revealed, they will be revealed in a very direct and legal context, and that in 2006 a Democratic majority will be elected to the House of Representatives, and in February of [2007] impeachment proceedings will begin."
