Bush crimes

To the editor:

While I do not “pride” myself on self-deception, honesty demands I admit to a high level of expertise in this area, (and to sincere efforts to address it). Hence I can understand the fear, or reluctance of many Americans to acknowledge the terrible harm done to our country under the criminal Bush Administration.

Last week, another high official in then-Prime Minister Blair’s inner circle admitted that Bush and Blair knew three months before the invasion that they would find no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. These two leaders then discussed how they could sell a war to the British and U.S. people. (http://www.leadingtowar.com/claims_facts.php).

On June 27, a conference was held at the National Press Club and aired on C-Span titled “Justice Department Prosecutorial Misconduct.” Speaker after distinguished speaker told about the politicization of the Bush Justice Department. It was shown how, nationwide, Democrats were targeted for fictitious crimes. Republicans were either not investigated for possible criminal behavior, or were slapped on the wrist.

A cancer has grown upon our body politic, upon our highest ideals over the last eight years. If we act as if nothing has happened (when the evidence screams that heinous crimes where committed against the very soul of this country), we risk becoming a country, an empire, such as what we revolted against 233 years ago. Investigate, investigate, investigate, and where crimes have been committed, prosecute, prosecute, prosecute!
