like others have said, i support this idea but without any illusions about its chances of getting anywhere at this point.
but the situation seems kinda volitile: for example it'll be interesting to see how the subpoena of rice drama plays out: if she testifies and and is forthcoming about the administration's political machinations in the run-up to the iraq debacle, then it would seem possible for this to move--but i do not expect forthcomingness---if she testifies and lies, then all bets are off and this could move forward. so i would expect a real fight over whether she testifies.
while i suspect that the causal linkages above are drawn using a spirograph with lots of wishful thinking shapes included, it nonetheless seems to me that the fate of this initiative is a dependent variable...and that if situationally things move in a straight line, it is a gesture more than anything else...btu it is not obvious that the straight line is the only possible line. so i am waiting to see how other things play out.
