The Senate today authorized subpoenas for Karl Rove to testify about the firing of eight United States attorneys who weren't "good Bushies." There has been some debate on whether or not those deposed will be under oath. They have to be under oath. We all know they're going to lie - there must be some consequence. George Bush wasn't under oath during his State of the Union address when he went before Congress and claimed Iraq was seeking uranium yellow cake from Niger. The only members of this administration we've ever gotten under oath couldn't stop the lies, and now Scooter Libby and Alberto Gonzales are facing the truth.
The Scooter Libby verdict was essentially everyone standing around looking at the footprints of an 800lb gorillia, saying, Yep, those are footprints, all right. No, Iraq did not have WMDs. When Joe Wilson presented evidence of this to the American people, Dick Cheney committed treason, a capital offense, by declaring Wilson's wife "fair game," and outing her status as an undercover CIA agent. When George Bush was asked for proof, he said he would not wait for a "smoking gun that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud."
So now many thousands of people have died - more Americans than died on 9/11, and literally countless Iraqis, while the people who attacked us were Saudi, and bin Laden still roams free. It is an unnecessary war of aggression, built on lies. Now the liars are being called to account - only under oath can justice be done.
