Reading: Bernstein on full congressional investigation

Carl Bernstein has a good piece in this month's Vanity Fair, with the no-nonsense title "Senate Hearings on Bush, Now." You can read the article here, and my take on it over at Preemptive Karma.

But before you go, here's a little taste. Bernstein calls for "a full [Senate] investigation of the conduct of the presidency of George W. Bush."
How much evidence is there to justify such action?

Certainly enough to form a consensus around a national imperative: to learn what this president and his vice president knew and when they knew it; to determine what the Bush administration has done under the guise of national security; and to find out who did what, whether legal or illegal, unconstitutional or merely under the wire, in ignorance or incompetence or with good reason, while the administration barricaded itself behind the most Draconian secrecy and disingenuous information policies of the modern presidential era.
I'm adding this to the Readings list in the sidebar.
