"Notwithstanding whether Mr. Rove intentionally violated the law in leaking information concerning former CIA operative Valerie Plame," Conyers tells Bush, "we believe it is not tenable to maintain Mr. Rove as one of your most important advisors unless he is willing to explain his central role in using the power and authority of your Administration to disseminate information regarding Ms. Plame and to undermine her husband, Ambassador Joseph Wilson." The Conyers letter urges Bush to "require" Rove "to either come forward immediately to explain his role in the Valerie Plame matter or to resign from your Administration."
Three weeks ago Conyers staged a mock impeachment hearing based on the so-called Downing Street Memo, which purports to show that Bush lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
Every time I hear him talk all that comes to mind is 'Communist'.
Your point would be better made if you would get the names straight.
Based on what has happened to Detroit over the last 20 years, I think maybe John Conyers should resign. The complete destruction of that city is much more of an injustice than talking to some reporter about a CIA paper pusher who hung out at A-list parties.
and make sure he is holding dick durbin's hand when he takes the leap!
Ok with me.
