Brilliantly written, even if you disagree with his premise.

Pitt here writes a most eloquent and scathing review of the Bush legacy. Notable lines ot the greatness of Bush as a symbol of what we must never let happen again: "Your greatness will be defined by how we rise to overcome and undo what you have done. Your greatness will stand forever if we never, ever forget the hard, bitter lessons you taught us."

The writer speaks truth to power. He puts the actions of the Bush administration into historica context that makes clear how truly awful their policies have been.

It's not the typical journalism. This article is to typical journalism as Olbermann is to Brokaw. I know that everybody's different, as is apparent from the first comment on this article, but the case make by Pitt is that he knows people who bore and continue to bear the awful brunt of Bush/Cheney's presidency, whereas Bush/Cheney is in full metal jacket denial of the damage they have done. Everything they have done is good, according to them. This article vehemently denies them that asylum, and if there is any progress in the American mind, this sentiment, this wrath will be the source of it.

Excellent piece of work, but doesn't go far enough. How many people have been condemned as criminals by Bush and cronies? If all people are equal under the law, shouldn't we return the favour?

P.S. Here's wishing Barney a long life.

It's his view of how the Bush administration's decisions have adversely affected people not only close to him but the country and the world. It is couched as a letter to President Bush, so I'm not sure if that counts as journalism. It was entertaining to read even though the each of the subjects he touched on were not funny in the least.
