Why wasn't George Bush impeached years ago?  That is the question that will be asked for years.

As the Bush administration trampled what had been traditional rights, such as habeas corpus, suspected terrorists languished in Guantanamo.  Numerous traditional rights were disposed of, ignoring U.S. constitutional safeguards.

But the overpowering mystery remains of why impeachment investigation proceedings never took place.  The so-called religious right that worked overtime in frenzied anxiety to impeach President Bill Clinton for consensual sexual acts with an adult went wild to do everything in every conceivable way to impeach him.

One heavy-handed investigation into a real estate transaction cost the taxpayers millions and went nowhere as no laws had been broken.  But these rabid do-gooders were silent when it was provable that the Iraq War was launched on lies.
