Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Sun, 9 Apr 2006 18:41:04 -0400 (EDT) A Bush and Cheney Should be Prosecuted Under the RICO Act: Greg Palast for Buzz http://www.buzzflash.com/ TOP FIVE HEADLINES AFTERNOON EDITION Not only did Bush and Cheney lie us into war,they divulged classified information selectively to try and save their hides. Their lastest confirmed betrayal of Americas is that they trashed a guy who revealed that one of their key claims for war is a lie. In a system of no checks and balances -- where the Republicans are Stepford accessories to the crime and the Democrats keep calling for " investigations " when the Republicans won't allow them and the essential crimes are known anyway -- well, a president could get away with murder. Thousands upon thousands of Ameircan GIs are grievously wounded. Nearly 2500 are dead. Tens of thousands of Iraqis have been killed. This isn't war; it's a Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld killing field. Bush keeps smiling through it all, like a rich brat who believes God is on his side of failure, immorality, lies and deception. Our national leadership has crossed the line into something psychotic, something beyond the normal perimeters of party jousting. It is clinically mad.

FEATURED BUZZFLASH PREMIUM American Theocracy: The Peril and Politics of Radical Religion, Oil, and Borrowed Money in the 21st Century (Hardcover) by Kevin Phillips Read BuzzFlash.com's Review>>> http://www.buzzflash.com/premiums/06/03/pre06054.html (Excerpt) Boy do we love Kevin Phillips. What more can you say about a guy who devised Nixon's Southern strategy and then evolved into perhaps the most astute, historically contextual critic of the Bush Dynasty and the current incarnation of the Republican Party. Add to that, Phillips is a keen observer of how the amalgamation of wealth in America has had a deleterious impact on democracy. Plus, he is a great, frank interview, who minces no words about the mediocrity, mendacity and venality of the Bush family. Phillips, as one review of this just-released book notes, is not going to receive an invitation to any Republican conventions. A couple of years ago, he described himself as an independent to BuzzFlash, with admiration for John McCain. So, he's no card-carrying Democrat at this point. He yearns for a Republican Party before the oil barons and " end times " religious fanatics took over.
