Perhaps they should be removed from any position of responsibility too.

Ace, how is it possible to do due diligence without access to the information? Cheney et al spoke of clandestine information without revealing any of the specifics. How is it possible to refute it?
Given that, how could anyone make a case against it? If you're only given the cherry-picked information and none of the conflicting information, you're only left with "feelings" and "suspicions", neither of which are particularly compelling.
Kucinich has always been consistently against the war, and I don't think that he harbors any illussions about being elected President. Sure, these articles further his agenda, but it's an agenda he passionately believes in. What's wrong with that?
