Farrakhan calls for impeachment of Bush

DETROIT, Feb 25 (Reuters) - Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan on Sunday angrily denounced the war in Iraq and called for the impeachment of U.S. President George W. Bush in an appearance billed as his final public address.

"What should they do about a man who has been lying to America?" Farrakhan said. Then, turning to face Rep. John Conyers, a Michigan Democrat who chairs the House Judiciary Committee and shared the stage in Detroit, he added: "If you won't impeach him, sanction him."

Farrakhan, 73, was released from a hospital last month after undergoing a 12-hour abdominal surgery related to prostate cancer.

There had been widespread speculation Farrakhan would use what supporters called a farewell speech to name a successor or to shift his movement closer to mainstream Islam. But Farrakhan instead devoted much of a wide-ranging, two-hour address to a critique of Bush's foreign policy, which he linked to prophecy of the apocalypse.

I've never seen anyone post a transcript of one of his speeches, but I've covered him twice for newspapers. He talks for three hours at a stretch, so that'd be some transcript. The Nation of Islam may not do it themselves, in part because they don't want him to be selectively quoted. 95 percent of what he says is uplifting good sense, and the other 5 percent is stupid and/or crazy, which is what gets quoted.
