WarIsACrime.org (originally AfterDowningStreet until May 2010,[1] in apparent reference to the Downing Street memo) is an organization that describes itself as "a coalition working to expose the lies that launched the war and to hold accountable its architects, including through censure and impeachment".[1] It was launched in May 2005, when co-founder John Bonifaz[2] sent a memo to Congressman John Conyers calling for impeachment.[3] Its other co-founders are Steve Cobble, Bob Fertik, Tim Carpenter and David Swanson.[2] Members of the coalition include:[4] John Nichols named AfterDowningStreet as "The Most Valuable Progressive 2005 — Watchdog Branch", writing: ... the real work of exposing the misdeeds of the administration is still being done by activist groups. And the most inspired of these in 2005 was AfterDowningStreet... In conjunction with Progressive Democrats of America, the able activist group that seeks to create an actual opposition party in America, AfterDowningStreet is pushing the political envelope in exactly the direction it needs to go.[5] References - ↑ a b
