They've done everything they could to keep Vince Bugliosi's book under wraps. Even though Vince Bugliosi is the #1 true-crime selling author of all time, it persists. ABC wouldn't take paid advertisements. There have only been two very short cable news stories. CNN did a hatchet job on a 20 minute interview where they tried to make Bugliosi look sympathetic to Bush. No Oprah, no Colbert, no Jon Stewart (yet), no Crossfire, no Olbermann, NO NOTHING ON MSM for this book.

When Bush runs out the clock on impeachment and you're looking for justice, send a copy of this book to your local prosecutor.





A Review of Bugliosi's - The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder



By Michael Collins

The Prosecutor and the President

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 Birth of the Public Servant

While a trial and conviction of George W Bush for murder would be an event of momentous proportions, it would pale in comparison to enduring impact due to the precedent established. Presidents could no longer offer up the lives of soldiers and civilians sent to a war that was stated for anything other than national defense or imminent danger to the country.
