Gitmo detainees were "sold like fish" (and let's please impeach Bush)

It's bad enough that we're holding so-called "enemy combatants" at Guantanamo Bay indefinitely and incommunicado without due process, and torturing them. But the story just keeps getting worse.

This week we learned that Afghan bounty hunters may have sold many of these people to the Americans based on false but lucrative allegations. [Read story.]

Last week it was the Downing Street Memo, then Bush thumbing his nose at Amnesty International's report, and now this.

Enough is enough! Won't somebody please impeach George W. Bush?

Sure, the Republican-dominated Congress is still in collective denial, so the chances that they'd actually start impeachment proceedings are slim. But remember that the Republicans turned against Richard Nixon once he crossed a certain line. Hasn't Bush done far more damage than Nixon ever did? We've got all this evidence (and no Iraqi WMDs). Now how can we wake them up?
