Cindy Sheehan Calls for War Crimes Trials of Bush & Cheney

Why does it take Cindy Sheehan, a grass roots activist, to state the obvious truth that Bush and Cheney must be impeached? Why hasn't the leadership in the House and Senate taken up this issue and done something about it? Why did it take a wacko program like MSNBC's Hardball, to broadcast the charges that should be brought against these war criminals?

Lots of questions and few answers. I suspect it is partly because the media has a stake in keeping the Bush/Cheney bunch in Washington. After all, it was the GOP dominated government that allowed the media to be gobbled up by 5 or 6 big firms. But I digress.

Cindy Sheehan, who I have had a chance to meet, is sincere and a driven woman. She believes she can make a difference, and so far it looks like she is right. On her way Washington in a cross country trek to raise consciousness about the war, she is asking the right questions. If only our alleged leaders would do the same?
