The Author's intent is to lay out a case of prosecuting Mr Bush for murder. Namely the murder of over 100,000 innocent Iraq civilians and currently 4400 dead American soldiers sent over there based on lies and fabrication of the facts by Mr Bush and his administration.



It's very obvious MR Vincent Bugliosi cares very little for Mr Bush as a person, politician, man of integrity etc ... It's also very obvious, and stated by the author that Mr Bugliosi swings to the left when it comes to his personal politics.



Mr Bugliosi states quite vigorously through the book that his case is NOT one of politics but one of law. "Had Mr Bush been a democrat" states Mr Bugliosi, "I'd still be writing this book".



His case revolves around the handling and reporting of information that started and sustained the run up to the invasion of Iraq in 2003 by the U.S. led coalition. He homes in on "tampering and changing of FBI and CIA data", the Joe Wilson "16 words" incident, Colin Powell's U.N. address and other instances of lying and deceit by the administration. His arguments are persuasive and he backs everything up with references and very reputable sources.



It's very obvious he's angry and coupled with his obvious dislike of Mr Bush I personally feel he did a good job of remaining objective in presenting his case with, supporting evidence that would hold up in court. His charges are based on the conspiracy law which says, in layman's terms, all of the conspirators are equally guilty when, due to their plans and actions, murder has taken place. This was how he prosecuted Manson for the Tate, La Bionca murders.



Spattered throughout the book are instances of Mr Bugliosi's personal opinions of Mr Bush along with some demeaning name calling which, I feel could have been left out but the overall impact is minor on the theme of the book.



I have to admit being apathetic to the Bush presidency and I joined the debate regarding his presidency late after I started to read about and research his and his cabinet's antics. I think Mr Bugliosi has a case. Whether anyone will pick it up or not I don't know. I understand Pelosi has already stated "impeachment is off the table" so - now Mr Bush has left office it's up to a state's prosecutor to bring charges. Mr Bugliosi mentions that soldiers, sailors, airmen etc from all 50 states have been "murdered" by Bush so all 50 state prosecutors could bring charges.



Whatever your politics if you can remain objective this is a pretty good read.
