This from Dr. Elsewhere over at Cannonfire:
http://cannonfire.blogspot.com/2006/11/inspiration-anyone.htmlRight on cue; I was putting together a quick post to remind readers that I'll be interviewing Elizabeth de la Vega in the next couple of days, so do submit your questions for me to ask her about her book, due out the end of this month, U.S. vs. George W. Bush et al.
<snip>
Read it; it will make your heart cry out in anguish, but louder, in hope.
And post questions for Elizabeth; it'll make for a much more interesting interview.
Book Description
http://www.amazon.com/United-States-George-Bush-al/dp/1583227563/ref=pd_sxp_f_r/104-6525916-7963156In United States v. George W. Bush et al., former federal prosecutor Elizabeth de la Vega brings her twenty years of experience and her passion for justice to the most important case of her career. The defendants are George W. Bush, Richard Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleezza Rice, and Colin Powell. The crime is tricking the nation into war, or, in legal terms, conspiracy to defraud the United States.
Ms. de la Vega has reviewed the evidence, researched the law, drafted an indictment, and in this lively, accessible book, presented it to a grand jury. If the indictment and grand jury are both hypothetical, the facts are tragically real: Over half of all Americans believe the president misled the country into a war that has left over 2,500 American soldiers and countless Iraqis dead. The cost is $350 billion-and counting.
