In his new book, "The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder," Vincent Bugliosi makes a devastating, well documented case that President George W. Bush is guilty of the murder of U.S. soldiers as a result of the lies he told to justify the invasion of Iraq, and can be prosecuted by any state attorney general or county prosecutor.

As a Los Angeles prosecutor, Bugliosi represented the state in 106 major cases and won 105, including each of his 21 murder cases. Since his first book, "Helter Skelter," he's been one of the top true crime writers with three number one best sellers and numerous awards.

In his best known case, Bugliosi convicted Charles Manson of murder even though Manson was not present at two of the crime scenes when the victims were murdered.

Bugliosi's argument is simple. Bush wanted a war with Iraq. He had to show that a preemptive invasion of Iraq was justified. To do this Iraq had to be an imminent threat to the United States. There were two major problems. Bush couldn't prove any connection between Saddam Hussein and 9/11. More importantly, Bush's own 2002 classified intelligence estimate found that Saddam was not an imminent threat to the United States. Bush simply reversed the findings of the National Intelligence Estimate of 2002, and sent men and women off to fight a fraudulent and unnecessary war, knowing full well that some of them would come home in boxes.

4. He came to my house and spoke at a political party
and discussed Helter Skelter many years ago.

He is great!

If anyone can nail BUSHCO, he can do it.

11. That book is a must-read
I am generally a slow reader but I devoured that book within about 24 hours. So much of the information was stuff I'd already known about, from DU and elsewhere, but seeing it all laid out in one place was absolutely maddening. Perhaps the best part was Bugliosi's dismissal of all of the predictable excuses that would come from those folks who are still determined to convince the world that GWB is the unappreciated Winston Churchill of the 21st Century, and the fact that he does so as a prosecuting attorney with a stellar record is all the more amazing. Some of the most maddening material wasn't about Bush's crimes so much as the outlines of his callousness, flippancy and sheer disregard for human decency. If you haven't read this you absolutely have to.
