Demanding censure

Here's an important commentary by Congressman John Conyers, courtesy of The Nation, describing his reasons for demanding Congressional censure of the Bush Administration in two current House resolutions. Mr. Conyers writes:

If the present Administration is willing to break the law in order to achieve its political objectives in Iraq, and Congress is unwilling to confront or challenge their hegemony, many of our cherished democratic principles are in jeopardy. This is true not only with respect to the Iraq War, but also other areas of foreign policy, privacy and civil liberties, and matters of economic and social justice.

Hear, hear, Congressman!
