Summary: Quite a disappointment
Comment: When I selected this book I was hoping for a reasonable, logical, structured argument supporting the prosecution of George W. Bush for murder, as the title suggests! Adding to my hope was that the author is an attorney, a former prosecuting attorney, who, according to the jacket, is highly regarded among his colleagues.
Instead, this book was a hate filled emotion based argument against the policy of George W. Bush and Iraq. It could have been written by the family of any of our soldiers wounded or killed in Iraq. Mr. Bugliosi seems to base his entire argument on the fact that President Bush lied to the public before engaging in the war. While I don't disagree with him, that does not make a case for murder. The President is the commander in chief who, unless there is something I am unaware of, has the authority to send the US military to fight. I don't recall his having to provide a reason that is suitable to all of us. That he lied to garner support does not make a case for murder.
I was hoping that, while making his case, Mr. Bugliosi would provide case law, cases in point, international law, the elements for the accused offenses, etc. I was greatly disappointed.

Summary: A lot of questions for Mr. Bugliosi???????????????????
Comment: Hello:
This is a very good book, very interesting, logical, emotional and a well written book. Mr. Bugliosi goes into a lot of depth and detail in certain areas. Certain comments, examples and explanations are factual, accurate and are true. But certain other comments and explanations, I have some skepticism about.
Mr. Bugliosi states that Bush lied to millions of unexpecting Americans when Bush had given his speech and "implied" that Saddam Hussein was an imminent threat. Although, Mr. Bugliosi explains that Bush did not directly say that Hussein is an imminent threat, Mr. Bugliosi explains that Bush used other words that equate to the same meaning as Hussein being an imminent threat.
Mr. Bugliosi explains that 6 days before Bush had given this speech that Bush was informed by 16 intelligence agencies including the CIA that Hussein was not an imminent threat. Although, it does seem as if Bush lied, what happened within those 6 days? Although highly unlikely and remotely possible could something have transpired within those 6 days that could equate to Bush being candid when he had given that speech?
Mr. Bugliosi seems like a very good, wonderful, decent person. He is a brillant, rational, and logical person. A very deep person, analytical, strong minded and strong willed, book smart and street smart. He has a very high intellect level, very intellectual, and very well spoken, very articulate, very bold and very brave.
He also is a famous person, a legend, a great prosecutor, attorney, and author. He is world renowned and his most famous case is the Charles Manson case.
Mr. Bugliosi has given a lot of information on You Tube, in his book and
elsewhere etc. Obviously, part of the reason is to try and get a prosecutor to bring Bush, Cheney, Rice etc,etc up on first degree murder charges.
But by giving this amount of information, this forwarns the defense. This within itself could compromise part of the prosecution at the least. Most criminal trials the prosecutor or prosecutors and the defense attorney or defense attorneys are usually very carefull on what, and how much, and when the information is revealed and submitted. Although, in a sense it's rational and logical what Mr. Bugliosi is doing, but in another sense it's questionable in regard to forwarning the defense.
What does Mr. Bugliosi have to say about this?
Anyway, if what Mr. Bugliosi has said is factual, accurate and the truth,
then these people need to be brought to justice.
Mr. Bugliosi has sent a copy of his book with a cover letter to all 50 State Attorney Generals of the United States of America. I wonder which Attorney Generals he thinks would be more likely to bring up first degree murder charges on Bush, Cheney, Rice, etc, etc?
Those American and Iraqi people and other people who have been hurt and killed it's terrible, horrible, sad, sickening, upsetting, frustrating, angersome and wrong.
Stay Strong, Be Safe, Stay Healthy, Take Care!
Joe,
Bye.

Summary: Awful, Don't Waste Your Money on This
Comment: I thought I was getting a well-reasoned argument by a seasoned prosecutor stating facts and building a clear case against GW.
That's not this book. I gave up reading it about 1/2 way through. It is nothing but a lot of ranting and raving and lots of opinion and no hard facts. A complete waste of time and money, don't buy it.

Summary: Calling All Editors
Comment: My future son-in-law, Kenny Rojas, was killed by an IED in Bayji,Iraq on October 29,2005. He was 21. I read a Stephen Spender poem at his closed-casket funeral.
His death destroyed his family and devastated ours. Believe me, there is NO ONE who would like to see George W. Bush prosecuted for murder more than I. Kenny's death was a direct result of the President's lies.
The title of Bugliosi's book--THE PROSECUTION OF GEORGE W. BUSH FOR MURDER--is astonishing. When I first saw the book at a Cheboygan, Michigan book store, I couldn't believe my eyes. The initial shock of recognition in terms of justice was tempered by the disbelief that a publisher would dare go with that title. Anyway, I applaud the courage of Vincent Bugliosi to write it and the publisher to publish it.
My problem is that the book was not as effective as it could have been had a good editor gotten a hold of it. Bugliosi's writing is, at times,
unfocused, ranting, and repetitive. I'm reminded of Truman Capote's maxim that a writer must exhaust the emotion in himself before he tries to evoke it in the reader.

Summary: Excellent exercise in advocacy
Comment: Mr. Bugliosi's book is in the best tradition of American trial lawyers. Trial lawyers are advocates who put their best case forward ignoring arguments to the contrary. Mr. Bugliosi skilfully blends his invective with an alluring mixture of criminal and civil legal concepts that sound persuasive to the nontechnical reader, particularly those who hate the president. The concept that "no man is above the law" is a beautiful, inspiring, sound byte, but to follow Mr. Bugliosi's practice of seeing what is plain, simply isn't true and never has been. Claiming that the Supreme Court of the United States committed a "great crime" by ignoring Florida law and giving the presidency to Bush sounds like sour grapes. The Supreme Court is not only free to ignore state laws, it has the power to overrule them, and has exercised that power since the early decades of the 19th century. Those who agree with the decisions applaud this exercise of power; those who do not agree talk about usurpation (remember those "Impeach Earl Warren" signs?
For those who think Mr. Bugliosi has an airtight case, I urge them to get a county attorney to indict President Bush (murder, after all, is a state crime, not a federal one) and see what happens next.
The best chapter is the last in which Mr. Bugliosi discusses the changes he has seen in the United States since he was young. I agree with him on many of his points. While on the one hand we purport to have become kindler and gentler, there seems to be an iron fist in the velvet glove. I have my own opinions about why this has happened but that goes beyond a review of the book.
This book is worth reading, but remember it is pure advocacy and, as judges always tell juries, keep an open mind and wait until all the evidence is in.

Editorial Reviews:
|
Famed Charles Manson prosecutor and three time #1 New York Times bestselling author Vincent Bugliosi has written the most powerful, explosive, and thought-provoking book of his storied career. In The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder, Bugliosi presents a tight, meticulously researched legal case that puts George W. Bush on trial in an American courtroom for the murder of nearly 4,000 American soldiers fighting the war in Iraq. Bugliosi sets forth the legal architecture and incontrovertible evidence that President Bush took this nation to war in Iraq under false pretenses—a war that has not only caused the deaths of American soldiers but also over 100,000 innocent Iraqi men, women, and children; cost the United States over one trillion dollars thus far with no end in sight; and alienated many American allies in the Western world. As a prosecutor who is dedicated to seeking justice, Bugliosi, in his inimitable style, delivers a non-partisan argument, free from party lines and instead based upon hard facts and pure objectivity. A searing indictment of the President and his administration, The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder also outlines a legally credible pathway to holding our highest government officials accountable for their actions, thereby creating a framework for future occupants of the oval office. Vincent Bugliosi calls for the United States of America to return to the great nation it once was and can be again. He believes the first step to achieving this goal is to bring those responsible for the war in Iraq to justice.
