Rep. Conyers Issues Report Identifying 26 Laws Broken by Bush Admin | BuzzFlash: "Many people are aware that George Bush has broken numerous laws during his presidency. BuzzFlash has certainly pointed out several instances. But today, House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member John Conyers (D-MI) released 'Constitution in Crisis,' a report identifying 26 specific laws and regulations implicated by the Bush Administration.
The 350-page document is divided into sections on Iraq and civil liberties and supported with more than 1,400 footnotes.
'The situation we find ourselves in today under the administration of George W. Bush is systemically worse than previous scandals such as Watergate and Iran-Contra,' Conyers said. 'The alleged acts of wrongdoing my staff has documented -- which include making misleading statements about the decision to go to war; manipulating intelligence; facilitating and countenancing torture; using classified information to out a CIA agent; and violating federal surveillance and privacy laws -- are quite serious.'
Conyers proposed a series of recommendations based on the report's findings, many of which are based on passing some of the many bills he and others have introduced to improve oversight and accountability."
