Too big to fail, too big to jail

San Francisco Chronicle by Amy Goodman | Jan. 28, 2009 (Editorial)

Karl Rove recently described George W. Bush as a book lover, writing, "There is a myth perpetuated by Bush critics that he would rather burn a book than read one."

Goodman recommends more reading, and especially more raw material on the secretive Bush crimes available to read.

I think prosecutions are called for. ( Gake: the favorable-sounding reviews conflict with a 1.0 rating? 1 is low, 5 is high... )

Ms. Goodman again writes opinions that are not only well- researched but informative. If you don't know where you been, how in the hell are you going to get back.

I'll bet there's been at least 50 books on Vietnam. How about Watergate. Id say at least 50.

Amy Goodman is a true professional.

It is well known in journalist corners that GWB is an ardent lover of American liturature. (See 'My Pet Goat').
