Carl Bernstein retains his integrity from his Watergate days. Suggests bi-partisan hearing to investigate Bush.

It is nice to see at least one of the famous Washington Post reporters who brought down a president is still tilting at windmills. Carl Bernstein calls for an investigation of Bush while Woodward continues to lie and provide cover for this administration.

Raising the worse-than-Watergate question and demanding unequivocally that Congress seek to answer it is, in fact, overdue and more than justified by ample evidence stacked up from Baghdad back to New Orleans and, of increasing relevance, inside a special prosecutor's office in downtown Washington.

In terms of imminent, meaningful action by the Congress, however, the question of whether the president should be impeached (or, less severely, censured) remains premature. More important, it is essential that the Senate vote—hopefully before the November elections, and with overwhelming support from both parties—to undertake a full investigation of the conduct of the presidency of George W. Bush, along the lines of the Senate Watergate Committee's investigation during the presidency of Richard M. Nixon.

How much evidence is there to justify such action?

So many of these major players from the Watergate era are coming forward and identifying what should be obvious to anybody living in this country today. Our president is breaking the law. He is trampling on our civil rights. And he very likely lied to get us into a war of personal choice.

The idea that we are not talking impeachment is ludicrous to me. This should be the drumbeat in every American home these days.

IMPEACH HIM! IMPEACH HIM! IMPEACH HIM!
