Goodness me. There is a push on to have Tony Blair impeached over his handling of the Iraq/WMD issue, invoking some obscure laws not used since 1848 and never repealed.
Read these:
- The Guardian: MPs plan to impeach Blair over Iraq war record
- The Guardian: Now for the politics of last resort - impeach Tony Blair (Adam Price, Plaid Cymru MP)
- The Telegraph: Isn't it time to impeach Blair over Iraq? (Boris Johnson, MP for Henley and Editor, The Spectator)
There are strong cases for having Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld etc impeached. Hopefully the people will decide in their own way on November 2. But if Bush is re-elected, it's hard to see any move for his impeachment getting off the ground unless some extremely compelling evidence was put forward.
Australia doesn't have impeachments. Pity. But then we have an election coming soon too.
