| Bush
Puts a 'Cancer on the Presidency' |
 Worse
Than Watergate," the title of a new book by John Dean,
Richard Nixon's White House counsel, is a depressingly accurate
measure of the chicanery of the Bush/Cheney cabal. According
to Dean, who began his political life at the age of 29 as the
Republican counsel on the House Judiciary Committee before being
recruited by Nixon, "This administration is truly scary
and, given the times we live in, frighteningly dangerous."

| A
burgeoning genre: the White House tell-all |
Throughout
the modern publishing era, nearly every administration has had
its "turncoats" - high-level officials who leave and
write tell-all books criticizing their former bosses.
But lately, it seems the Bush administration is becoming a virtual
factory for malcontented memoirists. |

| O'Neill:
Bush planned Iraq invasion before 9/11 |
| The
Bush administration began planning to use U.S. troops to invade
Iraq within days after the former Texas governor entered the
White House three years ago, former Treasury Secretary Paul
O'Neill told CBS News' 60 Minutes. |

Sought ‘Way’ To Invade Iraq? |
| “From
the very beginning, there was a conviction, that Saddam Hussein
was a bad person and that he needed to go,” says O’Neill,
who adds that going after Saddam was topic "A" 10
days after the inauguration - eight months before Sept. 11. |

| Clarke's
book shows why Bush fears truth |
| Dick
Clarke's book confirms in detail what some of us have long suspected:
During the first nine months of 2001, the Bush administration
largely ignored loud alarms about Al Qaeda sounded by Mr. Clarke,
by C.I.A. director George Tenet and by other former Clinton
administration officials. |

Phillips, Author of "American Dynasty: Aristocracy, Fortune
and the Politics of Deceit in the House of Bush" |
| "Now
what I get a sense of from all of this -- and then topped obviously
by spending all the money in 2000 to basically buy the election
-- is that this is not a family that has a particularly strong
commitment to American democracy. Its sense of how to win elections
comes out of a CIA manual, not out of the Declaration of Independence
or the Constitution." -- Kevin Phillips |

Insiders Are Coming Out |
| There
is no way to take an Imperial Presidency to task for its actions
when deliberate gibberish is the rule of the news day. There
is no way, unless the White House insiders come out and start
talking. Suddenly, that is exactly what is happening.

Paul
O'Neill's Insider Account of the Bush Administration:
Why It Landed Him In the Midst of A Government Investigation |
| Mr.
O'Neill seems to have provided the author with a thorough, compelling
critique of a White House in which political considerations
trump policy analysis with alarming frequency. Also, as is now
well-known, the book tells us about President Bush's deep interest
in regime change in Iraq long before 9/11 gave him the justification
for invasion. |
