The Prosecution of George W Bush for Murder


“The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder” (Vincent Bugliosi)

I picked up a copy of this book, but haven’t gotten around to reading it yet. I should start soon. Funny how the book has been basically ignored by the media, and yet still appeared on the New York Times bestsellers list, even without bulk orders1

Vincent Bugliosi wants George W. Bush prosecuted for murder. There are others who are complicit in the crime, namely the Vice President and Condoleezza Rice, but Bush is the target of this famed former Los Angeles prosecutor (the Charles Manson case) and best selling author (Helter Skelter and The Betrayal of America as two examples). He is undeterred by the virtual major media blackout on interviews and advertising. He’s taking his case directly to the people through alternate media and the internet.

Bugliosi constructs a devastating case in The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder. As I write this review, it is still difficult to grasp my sense of shock at this title with this author’s name below it. A legendary prosecutor with a near perfect record in big cases, Bugliosi articulates one of the most revolutionary ideas imaginable in a mix of today’s otherwise vapid and obtuse political thinking. But first, the book and how the prosecutor makes his case.

He wastes no time in following up on the shock generated by the title. In the first sentence, we’re told:

The book you are about to read deals with what I believe to be the most serious crime ever committed in American history – – the president of the nation, George W. Bush, knowingly and deliberately taking this country to war in Iraq under false presences, a war that condemned over 100,000 human beings, including 4,000 American soldiers, to horrific, violent deaths.” (V. Bugliosi, p. 3)

The president “knowingly and deliberately” caused the deaths of U.S. soldiers and Iraqi civilians and that’s called murder, plain and simple. This is not a hypothetical case that could happen under special legal interpretations. When the president leaves office, he is subject to the same law as the rest of us. Bugliosi explains the ability to prosecute the case against George W. Bush by a district attorney or states attorney in any local jurisdiction where a life was lost in the Iraq war. Federal prosecutors also have that option. Bugliosi’s detailed analysis of this phenomenon offers some of the best analysis in the book and the detailed end notes.

[From A review of Bugliosi’s The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder]

George Bush better get his world traveling finished before he leaves office; once 2009 arrives, there might be a few impediments to visiting certain enlightened countries.

Oh, Mr. Bugliosi has a website too, check it out.

Footnotes:
  1. certain right wing organizations bulk purchase, and give away, books they want publicity for. Many bookstores will prominently display a book if it is on the NYT best-seller list. If I was wealthy enough, I’d bulk purchase selected liberal-leaning books []

    Not so! The 4th estate is a corporatist whore.
    Nothing funny about that.
    People should read the book before commenting.
    Vincent Bugliosi’s credentials merit that.

    I knew all conspiracy of George Bush.
    Radio station KPFK 90.7 FM (as best radio station on the Earth) has all the record of the evidence of George Bush’s conspiracies in VIDEO,audio,writing , broadcasting for his fascism hitleristic murders all along .The worst conspiracy ( in Video/Audio) that he did is the organized 911 attack, and I’m conviced 100% he did it ..He will pay for it as a KARMIC-RETRIBUTION first . He was/is/will be already prepared/expecting to face death,therefore he learned well about clonning & many ways of fading .The USA-law may punish a FAKE one. I’m wishing his evil

    Go and listen to 90.7 FM.
    ASK for video with “Convoy of Death” in afganistan.
    Ask for video with 911 attack conspiracy.
    I have seen them , I did not buy any because those people who buy videos give invitations to us to see them or to make copies for us .I do not posses any video but when I was watching them I got scared to extremes. It means a big shame to our liars. Now they can’t lie to me anymore.
