GUEST: Elizabeth de la Vega, former Federal Prosecutor and author of the book, “United States v. George Bush et al”

If you have ever wondered about what a criminal case against President George W. Bush would look like, a new book by former federal prosecutor Elizabeth de la Vega drafts his indictment. “United States v. George Bush et al,” sets President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleezza Rice, and Colin Powell as defendants on trial for the crime of conspiracy to defraud the United States by deceiving and manipulating the country to war with Iraq. The legal question posed by Elizabeth de la Vega is whether or not President Bush and his cohorts employed the same criminal tactics as Enron’s Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey Skilling in taking the nation to war. Despite having only been released last week on February 1st, de la Vega’s hypothetical indictment of the Bush regime is already on its third printing. Chalmers Johnson, author of “Blowback” and “The Sorrows of Empire,” has called de la Vega’s new book, “A tour de force.” Former CIA analyst George McGovern has urged people to give United States v. George Bush et al, to all those “who cannot get their heads around the notion that our President lied us into an unnecessary war.”
