This is good news. Hopefully the first of many similar efforts that have been quashed and ridiculed by the butt-kissing traditional media. Not too dissimilar from another work, "Common Sense," by T. Paine.
HALinNY => Subject: [OT] Indicting Bush et al => => => From http://www.tomdispatch.com/ => => ----------- => => "Think of it as a Tomdispatch.com milestone. This is now the => first website to "indict" the President, the Vice President, => and their colleagues for defrauding us into war in Iraq. I => put that "indict" in quotes because what follows, as former => federal prosecutor Elizabeth de la Vega makes clear in her => new book United States v. George W. Bush et al., is "not an => actual indictment." It can't be, of course; but consider it => the second best thing. => => => De la Vega has, in her career as a prosecutor, prepared => numerous fraud indictments and, as she argued in the first => excerpt from her book posted at Tomdispatch earlier this => week, "A Fraud Worse than Enron," what George W. Bush, Dick => Cheney, and their senior officials committed was a crime, => not just in the colloquial sense of the word, but in the => legal sense too (and not a victimless crime either). While => their crime was of a magnitude that puts even Enron, no less => run-of-the-mill fraud cases, to shame, it also has all the => elements of a typical, small-time scam. => => De la Vega's "hypothetical indictment" of George W. Bush, => Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleezza Rice, and Colin => Powell that you are about to read remains, unfortunately, in => the realm of fantasy. But only for now. Until our world => comes more fully to grips with the criminal nature of the => Bush administration's acts, you can at least turn to the => full de la Vega book. A Tomdispatch.com special project, => produced in conjunction with Seven Stories Press, a => wonderful independent publisher, it's officially published => on December 1st (but available now). => => ---------- => => The full text of the "hypothetical indictment" can be found => at the link above. => => => Bill _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
