Okay, I'll make one more entry about the administration's stonewalling/deceptions/lies and then I'll cover each one on more depth at a later date.

1) Cheney's Energy Policy documents. This covers everything from promises made to corporate donors to whether or not Post-Saddam Iraq was discussed. I know the latter bit is a bit of a 'tin-hatter,' but today's conspiracy theory has an awful habit of becoming tomorrow's 'conventional wisdom' where this administration is concerned.

2) 9/11. Again, we have stonewalling, and selective release of documents. In articles on this site, most of the sane reasons for this behavior have been explored. I'll cover the more unlikely scenarios as well. Pre-9/11 intelligence, to current heightened alert statuses must be investigated.

3) Iraq. Everything from O'Neill's assertion that Bush wanted to go into Iraq once he was sworn in, to the handling of pre-war intelligence to cost estimates and a whole range of other Administration statements and behaviors that need to go under a much higher level of scrutiny.

4) Valerie Plame. The outing of Ms. Plame to allegedly punish Ambassador Wilson needs to be fully investigated. The leaker(s) and those that knew must be found, and if laws were broken, must be tried.

All of these things need to investigated in a non-partisan way. Just get the facts, and present them to both Congress and the People. The reason the people must be engaged is that Congress may have been complicit in many of these unresolved issues.

Every voter must ask themselves, "Is Bush a man that can really be trusted, or is my trust in him mis-guided?"

On Edit: I don't use the 'I' word often. I strive not to make comparisons with past Administrations - unlike so many who are only too quick to say, "well, Clinton did it," or something similarly worded. Having said that, I cannot imagine what the right would be doing if this was a Democratic president, rather than the most un-presidential Bush. I imagine the right would be calling for the head of the President on a pike. Since the gravitas of the Bush issues is potentially doing far more to damage the democratic process than a 'blue dress' ever could, all of the above examples already have been politicized by Congress' lack of aggressively investigating them.

The next time you hear someone say that the attacks on Bush are 'just politics,' they need to know that their belief system does not dovetail with reality. It is up to all of us to point out these errors. Nothing less than the future of our democracy may be at stake. May be.
