Kucinich impeachment measure gets fourth cosponsor [View All]

Dennis Kucinich's bid to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney gained a fourth consponsor on Thursday: Rep. Albert R. Wynn, who represents some of Washington, D.C.'s most Democratic suburbs. Wynn has been taking flak in his district for voting to give President Bush authority to launch the Iraq war.

In a statement released by his office, Wynn called Cheney "the architect of the Administration's deception about the war," and said he "persistently and deliberately deceived Congress and the American people about the existence of Weapons of Mass Destruction and the alleged link between Saddam Hussein and the attack on September 11th."

"There should be a serious dialogue about the conduct of this Administration," Wynn continued. "Cheney should be held accountable for purposely misleading the American people. Despite the obvious lack of success on the ground, Vice President Cheney continued a barrage of propaganda claiming that we were winning the war and successfully rebuilding Iraq which is patently false. His statements and representations about the situation in Iraq amount to malfeasance for which he should be taken to task."
