Murder Trumps Torture Says Bugliosi - An Interview by Michael Collins

BUSH CRIMES



"If we prosecute those in America who only commit one murder, under what theory don't we prosecute a president who is criminally responsible for over four thousand murders?"
Vincent Bugliosi


..............

VB:Who's fighting to bring about justice for those in their graves, decomposing in their cold graves right now as I'm talking to you, Michael? Who's doing that out there?

MC: Right.

VB: No one seems to be interested in that. It's all torture, torture, torture, torture, so apparently torturing 24 or 200 Iraqi citizens or Iraqi insurgents or what have you is more important than bringing about justice, let's say, for 4,200 American soldiers who died in Bush's war. So you can see where I am offended about that.

I'm not saying that Bush should not be prosecuted for torture.

Let's talk about why it's even more offensive to me than I've already told you. I've given you the main reason why I'm offended by it, that that's all they talk about, as opposed to saying let's go after him for taking this nation to war under false pretenses, and then let's also add a count to the indictment for torture. Do you follow?

much more (really, really well done Mr. Collins):

2. Not the size of the boy in the fight but the size of the fight in the...

A telling equivocation: with Holder. He has the authority and he has the power to completely ignore Obama, but the reality is what do you do? If Obama indicated that he was opposed to it, it would take quite a man to overrule the president.

An interesting interview. VB gets up a head of steam and rolls with it. All Collins has to do is go "uh huh" and "right" and make sure he doesn't run out of tape. I fear that VB's true believerhood will reduce his credibility.

We need quite a woman, or quite a man, to go after the criminals.

"that nature might stand up and say to all the world, 'this was a man'."

thank you, kpete, for finding and sharing this link. a valuable article. and thanx to Michael Collins for his, as usual, outstanding report and writing.
