The New York Times Calls for Jay Bybee's Impeachment

Read the whole editorial, it's brutal, and calls for a thorough investigation of everyone who conspired on this, and the penultimate 'graph calls for the Congress to remove Jay Bybee as a federal court judge:
These memos make it clear that Mr. Bybee is unfit for a job that requires legal judgment and a respect for the Constitution. Congress should impeach him. And if the administration will not conduct a thorough investigation of these issues, then Congress has a constitutional duty to hold the executive branch accountable. If that means putting Donald Rumsfeld and Alberto Gonzales on the stand, even Dick Cheney, we are sure Americans can handle it.
(emphasis mine)

Somehow, I do not expect Mr. Bybee to go quietly though.

Hopefully, he'll rat on his fellow conspirators, but I would not expect that either.
