Cindy Sheehan and her supporters held a rally at the San Francisco Federal Building on January 14 and presented an aide to Nancy Pelosi with 8,000 signed letters urging impeachment of Vice President
Dick Cheney and President
George W. Bush. Sheehan, whose son Casey was killed in Iraq, said, "I believe that when George Bush commuted Scooter Libby’s sentence for a crime that he was complicit in, he committed treason. A president can commute sentences, a president can pardon people, but not when they are involved in the crime."
It is not certain what "crime" Sheehan is referencing. Prosecutors have yet to charge anyone with a crime in relation to Valerie Plame. If Sheehan means to say the President was "involved" in Libby's testimony, then U.S. Grant, Warren G. Harding, Harry Truman, Gerald Ford, George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton should have all been impeached as well. See story here.
