Vanity Fair has obtained confidential documents, since corroborated by sources in the U.S. and Palestine, which lay bare a covert initiative, approved by Bush and implemented by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Deputy National Security Adviser Elliott Abrams, to provoke a Palestinian civil war. The plan was for forces led by Dahlan, and armed with new weapons supplied at America’s behest, to give Fatah the muscle it needed to remove the democratically elected Hamas-led government from power. (The State Department declined to comment.)

The article goes on to call this "Iran-Contra 2.0".
If this is true, how can they possibly be getting away with this? Isn't supplying arms to overthrow a democratically elected regime something that should directly lead to a congressional investigation and impeachment? Are we just so tired of everything the Bush administration has done so far, and not been called on, that we don't care any more?
(Sorry, I know the rule on the politics board is to quote the entire article with no more than one sentence of commentary from myself. Apologies to everyone for the effort required to actually click on the link.)
