i wasnt expecting a piece like that

Politics for nerds?

First off this is just glory grabbing by Kucinich, it won't go through because to impeach a president doesn't just require a president to do something wrong, it's to do something so wrong that a mark can be made upon the presidents of the past and future. Same for the vice president. Nixon did something at that level, Clinton did too. (the perjury, not the sex let's not try to confuse that issue again)

But even so this isn't news for Slashdot, this is partisan politics at it's best, and it has little if anything to do with anything. We arn't voting on it. So why is slashdot writting about it? This is Slashdot, the place I come to read news that matters to me, if I or any of us really cared about this we'd likely have an RSS feed or another news source to our political sources which would be mentioning this.

Let's get Slashdot back to being news about technology and nerdy stuff, rather then turning it into a Technology based version of CNN.

"Practically everything that was said regarding Iraq's WMD prowess was also said by

George Bush
John McCain
John Kerry
Bill Clinton
Hillary Clinton
Robert Byrd
Sandy "nothing in my underpants" Berger
Madeline "Kim Jung Ill seems a nice guy" Albright
Carl Levin
Ted Fscking Kennedy
Al Gore and a HOST of others..."

Yes, because the Bush team coerced the CIA to cook up false intelligence and cherry-picked data. What do you expect when the Bush team told them outright lies? You expect Senators to question the findings and reports of the CIA?

The Senate does not have their own independent intelligence network. They relied on the lies that Bush fed them and the rest of the country. The Bush administration is solely to blame here.
