George W. Bush to be Indicted for Murder?

LA prosecutor and author, Vincent Bugliosi, has been calling for the criminal prosecution of George W. Bush for murder. He has written a book that lays out the case.   The video below shows him discussing the, now, very real possibility of Bush being prosecuted for murder.

There is now a candidate for a State Attorney General position who also believes that George W. Bush is guilty of murder.  If she is successful in taking office, she plans to appoint Bugliosi as special prosecutor to seek a murder indictment against George W.Bush. 

(Thanks to Laura Flanders for the original post on this one.)

"In his career at the L.A. County District Attorney's office, Vincent successfully prosecuted 105 out of 106 felony jury trials, including 21 murder convictions without a single loss in his career. His most famous trial, the Charles Manson case, became the basis of his bestselling book, Helter Skelter."

Think this guy knows what he's talking about?  

"The likelihood of Bush being prosecuted for murder; along with Cheney and Rice is somewhere between 95% and 99%."  ~Vincent Bugliosi

Here he is testifying before the House Judiciary Committee on the Constitutional limits of executive power.

About 5 minutes in, Bugliosi says: 

"All Americans should be absolutely outraged over what the Bush administration has done!  How dare they do what they did?  How dare they?"

His statement is met with a burst of applause and Rep. Smith tried to have the room cleared because there had been "an outburst".

Charges Against George W. Bush

I have received numerous e-mails requesting to know what the 35 charges of high crimes and misdemeanors George W. Bush has been charged with. The charges range from creating a secret propaganda campaign against the American people to kidnapping, torture, illegal detentions and obstructing the 9/11 investigation.

Media Blackout!

Does it bother anyone else that some amateur blogger in Austin knows that the House sent 35 articles of impeachment to the Judiciary Committee (click here for original article), but Fox News, NBC, CBS and ABC haven't mentioned a peep? Anyone wonder why they haven't heard it on Clear Channel radio?

Put simply, "WTF"?

McGovern - Impeach Cheney & Bush

Among the cries of the hippies and the hungry are cries from those who aren't:

George McGovern, ex-senator and presidential candidate, wrote an op-ed piece calling for the impeachment of George Bush and Dick Cheney. His article in the Washington Post outlines why he holds this belief.

"Bush and Cheney are clearly guilty of numerous impeachable offenses. They have repeatedly violated the Constitution. They have transgressed national and international law. They have lied to the American people time after time. Their conduct and their barbaric policies have reduced our beloved country to a historic low in the eyes of people around the world. These are truly "high crimes and misdemeanors," to use the constitutional standard."
