CBLDF Auction with Sim & Gaiman

As most regular readers know, I/we are fans of the CBLDF and the EFF (Contribute to both!) The CBLDF is running a charity auction which is collaboration between Dave Sim of Cerebus fame and Neil Gaiman of Sandman amongst others. There's some good background online as well as the auction itself. The money raised will go to fighting censorship in the graphic arts. I'd also heartily recommend reading Neil's blog and taking Dave Sim up on his offer. His collected form letter are funny, thought provoking and great to read. Oh - and happy birthday, Neil.

    Bush,

    *
    You committed a clearly impeachable act by manipulating and distorting intelligence information to further your preconceived plans for war.
    *
    You exploited the nation's anguish on 9/11 to justify a war you had planned long before that date.
    *
    You spent more than a year trying to prevent an independent inquiry into the causes of the attacks on 9/11.
    *
    You withheld and falsely classified information that would allow the American people access to vital information about the attacks of 9/11.
    *
    You sent the Sec. of State to the United Nations with fabricated evidence to support your false claim that war against Iraq was urgent.
    *
    By invading and occupying Iraq, you violated the United Nations Charter, to which the United States is a signatory.
    *
    You waged an illegal and immoral war against a non belligerent nation, killing 100,000 of its civilians, and maiming thousands more.
    *
    You sent American and coalition military men and women into harm's way without adequate war plans, without adequate armor and equipment, without adequate plans for the occupation, and without an exit strategy.
    *
    Your unnecessary war of choice in Iraq has resulted in the deaths of nearly 1200 soldiers and in serious injury to thousands more.
    *
    You knowingly violated the Geneva Convention by allowing torture and abuse at prisons in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay.
    *
    You unlawfully detained prisoners taken in the war against Afghanistan without charges or legal counsel at Guantanamo Bay.
    *
    You unlawfully detained thousands of people in the US without charges or access to legal counsel under the Patriot Act, - and have not convicted a single one of any crime.
    *
    You arranged for personal benefactors and friends to earn huge profits from your war.
    *
    You ignored and refused to investigate the outing of a CIA agent, whose husband had exposed your fabrication for war.
    *
    Your invasion of Iraq has led to unending chaos and violence within the country and endangers the stabilization of the entire Middle East.
    *
    Your war has significantly increased membership in worldwide terrorist groups, making our country and the world far more unsafe.
    *
    You made our country the most feared and reviled in the world, and our President the most hated in history.
