Kucinich seeks Cheney impeachment

Democratic presidential candidate Dennis J. Kucinich filed articles of impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney, saying his action was driven by a desire to defend Americans’ right “to have a government that is honest and peaceful.”

The Ohio congressman said Cheney manipulated and fabricated intelligence on weapons of mass destruction to justify the Iraq war. Kucinich said it was important to introduce the legislation “because the threat of war against Iran is very real.”
