Connecticut, or King Arthur's Court. Hard to tell
Vincent Bugliosi, a man whom I had (until very recently) tremendous respect for, has written a book calling for the murder indictment of President Bush, and has thrown his weight behind a Progressive Party candidate for attorney general in Vermont who is pledging to have Bush tried for the murder of the soldiers who died in Iraq, claiming that he conspired with others (probably Cheney, everyone's favorite bete noire) to take the US to war under false pretenses.

Or something. I got a headache trying to figure out what exactly he's trying to do, other than get publicity for his new book. The website for his preferred candidate is here:

The man himself shilling is here:

What do you all think? Has he gone nuts?
 
As soon as he wants to do the same to Vladimir Putin for what happend in Chechnya then why not? Oh yeah and lets not forget very brutal man Ramzan Kadyrov. What Bush and PNAC did to Iraq was maybe wrong but what Putin did to Chechnya was very wrong. Russia had no real reason to invade Chechnya. There was no Saddam Hussein and the kurds in Chechnya. In Bush"s case if Iraq war really was about helping the kurds then why is Bush and PNAC not supporting Kurdistan and why are they supporting Turkey?
 
He has gone off the deep end. The WMD's were only one of several reasons given to invade Iraq and the others, like Saddam being a murderous madman, were only reinforced by what was found there.

Well, I'd argue that while the reasons for Russia's involvement were cold-hearted, there were reasons, and a lot more of them than what America had with Iraq.

Chechnya was not halfway across the world to Moscow, it was within their borders. According to the logic of power and dominance, they had to be crushed as an example to the plethora of other minorities pining for freedom after the fall of the Soviet Union.

Sure, these reasons are distasteful - and the implementation of the policy was atrocious and the height of immorality, but I'd say Russia had more reason to go into Chechnya than America had going into Iraq. America's borders would still be secure if they hadn't of gone into Iraq, there was no pressing self-interest that was served by it except a perceived one that on inspection, falls apart.

What they share in common I guess is the immorality side of things - though the Russians were surely even more callous (though that's a matter of degree).
 
I have to question as to why someone that believes they have court ready evidence of murder would write a book about it rather then taking it to the authorities and having charges pressed then presenting said evidence in court. I often wonder the same about 9/11 Truth Leaders who do the same thing...
 
cmon man, really?

Its Bush we're talking about here, not some gangbanger from down the street...

Oh no, I just know we had lots of good reasons to invade iraq. Like... well,... it was life or death, man! You saw what they did to us on 9/11! The president had to have good reasons! He wouldn't lead us to war without good reasons! Why do you support that Murderer Hussein? Aren't you glad we removed him from power and killed him? Are you saying it wasn't worth it?
:D

Sry didn't read Bugliosi's rant, but if he thinks "murder" is the charge to consider, I doubt he can be both serious and sane.
 
Ya, I havent read it either so I think I'll withold judgment. But having just finished Philippe Sands "The Torture Team" and having followed the surveillance scandal wherein the whole top level of the FBI was willing to resign over a program we still dont know anything about (all we do know about was the warrantless eavesdropping), it seems to me there's probably better grounds for a criminal case on those items...
