I interview a lot of people that have made the rounds on the network and cable talk shows, but Vincent Bugliosi is not one of them. The guy that prosecuted Charles Manson for murder cannot get an interview in the mainstream media about his new book “The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder.” Boycotted, blackballed, whatever it is, what he has to say, the powers that be do not want to hear it.
Why? According to Bugliosi: FEAR! Fear of the “Right.” It is this fear, that has protected Bush from impeachment by Democrats since 2006. Fear is why Nancy Pelosi declared, before the Democrats won control of Congress, the Democrats would not seek to impeach Bush. Maybe, after November 4th we, as a nation, can cast off fear and focus a little more on hope and justice. It is precisely this atmosphere of fear that will be the eternal and despicable legacy of the Republican Right scrawled across the face of the American Constitution. A free people living in the greatest democracy the world has ever known, live with more fear than a paranoid schizophrenic on LSD! Who would have thought it possible?
Bugliosi lays out an open and shut case that Bush knowingly lied to Congress and the American people when he and his cronies suckered us into the Iraq War. (Of course, some of you out there won’t believe this is true.) Months before Bush’s intelligence source, the CIA, told him Iraq (Saddam) did not represent any immediate threat. Weeks before the war began, Bush was asking how he could provoke Iraq into starting the war. But the worst thing George Bush did was to release an intelligence report supporting his claim for war, after he deleted the report’s conclusion that Saddam did not have weapons of mass destruction and was not a threat to anyone, other than the Iraqi people.
But that is not the whole story. Believe it or not, this story will live or die come November 4, 2008: Election Day! Do you know about candidate for Attorney General in Vermont? Charlotte Dennett has made a campaign promise: If she is elected Attorney General of Vermont, she will appoint Vincent Bugliosi a Special Prosecutor to indict, try and convict George W. Bush for murder.
Sounds like a plan to me.
As Vincent says and I believe: No one, including the President of the United States, is above the law.
Court TV will make millions, no billions!!!!
