Listen to 30-minute mp3.
David Swanson: Dennis Loo, it’s good to talk to you.
Dennis Loo: Thank you for having me, David.
David Swanson: Sure. So, just to start at the beginning, where did the idea come from to do a book about impeachment, and when did you decide impeachment was the way to go?
Dennis Loo: Well, the short answer to your question is that after Katrina, it became clear that a lot of the scales on some people’s eyes in America were washed away

The Impeachment Moment
Tomgram: David Swanson, The Impeachment Moment
If you’ve been around long enough, you’ve lived through moments — there were a couple of striking ones in the Vietnam era — when all the collective, practical wisdom of pundits and policy makers about what is possible in this world seems to fall away and suddenly the previously inconceivable enters the mainstream. The next thing you know, it’s a commonplace and everybody is proudly ready to take credit for making it

Treating Criminality As Daring Boldness: The Media on Bush
By David Swanson
Ron Brownstein wrote a column this week that illustrates exactly how far the corporate media will go in criticizing President Bush. Brownstein’s criticism is not motivated by his own reflections. He has none, other than those that quietly shape his omissions and categorizations. He’s a corporate journalist. In fact, he’s what passes for a left-wing corporate journalist. Brownstein is not concerned by Bush’s criminal actions, by his unpopularity in polls,

Nuclear Winter, Global Warming, or Impeachment
By David Swanson
Some say the globe will end by warming,
Some say nuclear war.
At the risk of being too alarming,
I hold with those who favor warming.
But if religious feuds can’t wait
I think I know enough of hate
To say that just a few more missiles
Could end us first
While Dubya whistles.
Apologies to Robert Frost, and to you, and your family, and what would have been your great grandchildren. We are sending missiles to Iran on a ship departing my home state of Virginia next week, and

Dedicating September 11th to Bush
By David Swanson
George W. Bush is an ordinary human being, in fact a quite stupid one. So are all of his handlers. They are ordinary people, and we have the power, should we choose to use it, to throw them out of our public housing.
This simple fact is hidden from us not just by the media constantly instructing us that we can make no difference, not just by lies connecting the crimes of 9-11 to Iraq, or Iraq or Iran to weapons they do not have, and not just by the deference to power of the devoted

Veterans for Impeachment
By David Swanson
Remarks at Veterans for Peace convention, Seattle, Wash., Aug. 11, 2006
It’s an honor to be speaking at a Veterans for Peace event. For as long as I’ve been working in the peace movement, VFP has been a powerful ally. To us nonveterans, veterans for war sometimes seem like a hostile and exclusive club. But veterans for peace have always treated me as a brother in the cause for peace. And I’m sorry that my brother Mike Ferner could not be here today. We’ll

Bush Versus the Constitution
By David Swanson
Last December, when Congressman John Conyers released a huge report documenting the evidence that Bush and Cheney had lied us into a war, he also introduced a bill (H. Res. 635) to start a preliminary investigation of the matter and make recommendations on impeachment. This showed far more courage, not to mention long hours of work, than any other member of Congress had mustered at that time or since. But it was disingenuous. Impeachment is itself an investigation; a preliminary
