"...shameful act..."

Dear Mr. President,

Reporting the truth your illegal activities to a free press is not a shameful act.

A shameful act is something like violating the constitution you swore to uphold.

A shameful act is bringing the world to war, and putting our sons and daughters in harm's way, and then not even apologizing when the pretext of WMDs turns out to be a total bust.

A shameful act is "bringing the war to them," which is obviously false, and based on a racist assumption that attacking the poorest muslims will end terrorism.

A shameful act is wanting to use torture and the threat of torture in the name of the American people.

You call it a war on Al Qaida, a war on terrorism. It's not. It's empire building. Imperialism in our lifetime, that's a shameful act.

My hope for the Iraqi people is that they are successful in their new goverment and independence. And may their new government be more faithful than their constitution than you.
