Synopsis
In contrast to media attention to Clinton's prevarications regarding the Lewinsky affair, President George W. Bush rarely receives opprobrium from the corporate press for his tortured relationship with the truth. Perhaps this is because, as editor Barrett argues, his lying is part of an agenda aimed at creating a state that serves the global needs and desires of corporations. He brings together 22 essays from lawyers, academics, journalists, and other contributors, each exploring Bush administration mendacity in a specific foreign or domestic thematic area. Concluding contributions list the Bush administration's "50 most telling lies" (a necessarily subjective list) and a consideration of the danger of Bush lies to American ideals.

April 16, 2004: This book is not just a diatribe against the Bush regime, of which there are so many now...it is a sort of 'reference' with scores of footnotes and bibliographic info to back up its statements. And the sources aren't not just other anti-Bushers, but include sources like the DOE, EPA, and experts in a variety of fields. In short, this is the kind of book that activists and journalists will love - every statement is backed up with a source, so the facts can be cited without fear of making 'groundless accusations.' In an election year, that is esp. important. A must read!!!
