Was there a Guantánamo-style prison in Kosovo after 2001? If so, has it since been closed? Have the Americans used KFOR - that is, NATO - installations to create a penal establishment that eludes the norms of international law? These are all questions that have aroused the scruples of Alvaro Gil Robles, Human Rights Commissioner for the Council of Europe, who visited an American prison installation in Kosovo in 2002.

James J. Zogby: We're adrift in Iraq and the public knows it. They feel lost between the false choices they are offered: "staying the course," which they know isn't working, and "leaving," which they fear as an equally dangerous option. The mainstream Democratic alternative - which is to find a middle ground and call for a phased withdrawal with or without timetables - is not a responsible alternative. And so, the war continues, on its present and dangerous course.

Daschle, who as Senate majority leader controlled the chamber's schedule, recalled recently that he asked Bush to delay the war vote on Iraq until after the impending midterm election. Daschle's account highlights a crucial factor that has drawn little attention amid rising controversy over the congressional vote that authorized the war in Iraq: the debate may have been shaped as much by when Congress voted as by what it knew.

Can anyone still take the Democrats seriously as an opposition party after leaders like Senators Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Hillary Clinton (D-NY), and John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.) firmly distanced themselves from Rep. John Murtha's (D-Penn.) call on November 17 for an immediate withdrawal from Iraq?

For misleading the American people, and launching the most foolish war since Emperor Augustus in 9 B.C sent his legions into Germany and lost them, Bush deserves to be impeached and, once he has been removed from office, put on trial along with the rest of the president's men. If convicted, they'll have plenty of time to mull over their sins.
