Hinchey to introduce censure resolutions

WASHINGTON -- U.S. Rep. Maurice Hinchey plans to introduce two resolutions in the House calling for the censure of President Bush, Vice President Cheney and other administration officials, the congressman's office announced on Thursday.

Hinchey's resolutions, companions to ones proposed by U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., seek to reprimand the Bush administration for misleading the American people about the reasons for invading Iraq, mismanaging the war and the military occupation of Iraq and abusing the Constitution through such practices as warantless surveillance.
