It's getting serious: Conservative Calls for Impeachment of Cheney

A prominent conservative, Bruce Fein, calls for the impeachment of Cheney. He is an attorney with expertise in constitutional law. Here are his credentials.

Bruce Fein Biography

"Mr. Fein has been an adjunct scholar with the American Enterprise Institute, a resident scholar at the Heritage Foundation, a lecturer at the Bookings Institute, and an adjunct professor at George Washington University. He has also been executive editor of World Intelligence Review, a periodical devoted to national security and intelligence issues. He regularly lectures to foreign guests and dignitaries visiting the United States on behalf of the State Department."

Here is a sampling of what he argues:

"The vice president initiated kidnappings, secret detentions, and torture in Eastern European prisons of suspected international terrorists. This lawlessness has been answered in Germany and Italy with criminal charges against CIA operatives or agents. The legal precedent set by Cheney would justify a decision by Russian President Vladimir Putin to kidnap American tourists in Paris and to dispatch them to dungeons in Belarus if they were suspected of Chechen sympathies."

America was founded to prevent people like Cheney from gaining power. Why isn't our system working anymore?
