The Prosecution of George W Bush for Murder
I’m half way through The Prosecution of George W Bush for Murder, by Vincent Bugliosi. In case you’re not a fan of true crime books, Bugliosi is the L.A. Prosecutor who investigated, prosecuted and obtained a murder conviction for Charles Manson. If you recall, Manson didn’t actually murder Sharon Tate, but he was convicted of her murder. Helter Skelter is Bugliosi’s book covering Mason.
In any case, he makes a compelling case that W. should be tried and convicted of Murder for taking the nation to war on a lie. Bush and friends said over and over in the lead up to war in Iraq that we were performing a pre-emptive strike, and that Iraq was linked to 9/11. Turns out… well… those were both lies. It was well known by the administration that Iraq posed *no* threat to the US, unless provoked by an imminent attack by the US.
The book lays out a very, very clear, and what seems to me irrefutable, case against Bush. I can’t figure out any reason he shouldn’t be tried, convicted, and potentially executed, for causing over 100,000 deaths of Americans and Iraqis, because he wanted to.
There is no statute of limitations on murder, and he could be prosecuted in any of the 50 states, or by a federal court. So, unless some President pardons him, he’s vulnerable to prosecution. Let’s hope some attorney general has the courage to carry out justice and indite Bush, and let a jury decide if a crime has been committed. It seems irrefutable to me.
A warning though: if you read this book, you will be furious with Bush, Rice, Cheney. It’s not fun to read. It’s infuriating.
