Default Department of Justice memo released regarding Bush / Cheney War Crimes.

This document will slowly be gaining traction in the media over the next month or so, as journalists have a chance to analyze it.

http://www.usdoj.gov/oig/special/s0805/final.pdf

This book will also probably have quite an impact over the next few months. Especially if it hits bestseller status.

I had it pre-ordered. My copy just shipped 2 days ago, so no reviews on Amazon yet. Here is a bit about the author.

Quote:
Vincent Bugliosi received his law degree in 1964. In his career at the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office, he successfully prosecuted 105 out of 106 felony jury trials, including 21 murder convictions without a single loss. His most famous trial, the Charles Manson case, became the basis of his true-crime classic, Helter Skelter, the biggest selling true-crime book in publishing history. Two of Bugliosi’s other true-crime books-And the Sea Will Tell and Outrage-also reached #1 on the New York Times hardcover bestseller list. No other American true-crime writer has ever had more than one book that achieved this ranking.

Here is a video note from Vincent Bugliosi as well.

And this is just the beginning of the gross perpetrations of the current US government in promoting "Liberty and Peace" throughout the world.

Thanks, Dan, for keeping us all updated. It's nice to know that there are people out there working for a cure for whatever the hell is going on in our twisted government.

It seems to me like they're letting the FBI off the hook with this report, though - do you think this is a good move, Dan?

That video is AWESOME. I want that BOOK! Please let this happen! George Bush should be in jail; even if he's not the big boss, he's a huge mouthpiece.

How are the chances that 105 out of 106 people who are put on trial are in fact guilty?

What does successful prosecution mean? Putting someone in jail or revealing the truth?

I imagine that they were guilty - it seems this prosecutor is pretty thorough in his investigation.
