Former CIA official/ Iraq/constitutional crisis compared only to Watergate
http://www.kcrg.com/article.aspx?art_id=76900&cat_id=123

(Iowa City-AP) -- In a speech in Iowa City, a former C-I-A analyst says the Bush administration's use of reports of weapons of mass destruction to justify the war in Iraq have created a constitutional crisis compared only to Watergate.

Raymond McGovern says the Bush administration should be held accountable for using post September 11th fears and allegations of Iraqi weapons to deceive Congress and the American public to justify war in Iraq.

McGovern, who once was in charge of preparing daily intelligence briefings for several presidents, gave a lecture at the University of Iowa Sunday.

He says it would also be appropriate for congressional leaders to pursue impeachment proceedings against President Bush.
