C'mon, give us some details.

2. I saw him interviewed by Bill Moyers

and yes....VERY scary and made me wonder how these people have been able to be so secretive. Secrecy is evidently the focus of the book. He says it's on a whole new level from Nixon.

3. describes the rise of monster Cheney

the disregard for law, media, FOIA, ....Bush, who knew nothing of foreign affairs and taught by Cheney and Rice....secrecy and more secrecy......and God forbid another catastrophic event...and yes there will be another and yes they will look the other way because it suits their ultimate goal............our constitution and America will be in ruins ..and how our democracy is ultimately threatened by these evil men
...there were several times I just had to walk away from the book it upset me so much.......
I hate those sonofabitches.

4. Did you catch the replay of Dean's apopearance on C-Span?

It was on this morning on Book TV. Try and catch the replay of the reply some time. He went into some detail and the Q&A session was terrific. My copy of the book hasn't arrived yet, so I can't go into too much. But one image he related on Book TV was that when Bush took office, it was as if they went into the WH, locked the doors and pulled down the shades. He also said that Bush was pretty smart - but only about the things that interested him. Oh, also - they'd promised to discloise details opf Cheney's health during the last campaign. But that promise was never fulfilled. Cheney has set up a shadow NSC and that's perfectly fine with Bush. Cheney iu really running things and will only be dropped form the ticket if the SEC investigation on him proves he did something wrong. It's very suspect that Cheney sold off his Haliburton stock at top dollar before taking office.

Bottom line is that Bush lied to Congress about going to war per Dean's research. The criteria was detailed by Congress during Watergate. For this lie, Dean asserts that Bush should be impeached. He runs it all down in detail in the book.

6. P.S.

He also said that Bush's stand on the environment makes Nixon look like Nixon could run as a "Green".
