Give's a chance Greg F - or is it a very, very slim book.

I say again the book has been out long enough, the Attorneys General in 50 states haven't taken Vinnie up on the strength of his arguements to prosecute GWB, serves as a good indication that those arguements are weak, certainly sounded that way in the precis I've read in various reviews and ads trying to sell the damn thing.

I mean Greg F it's the same old catalogue isn't it:
- He lied (Yet no-one can actually give such an example - I mean you can't and I take it that you have read the book?)
- Illegal wire-taps (Yet nobody has proved that to be the case)
- Etc, etc.

But on the subject I'd rather read the actual intelligence briefs, evaluations, analyses and source material used, than some lawyer with an agenda.

As for this from Akenaton:

"The end product is that the overwhelming majority everywhere believe the war to have been cooked up to suit the agenda of the American administration and supported by a glory hunting Labour UK prime minister. The standing of the USA and the UK as been damaged forever by this stupid and cruel war"

If that is true (definitely is on this forum) I'd make the point that what people believe to be true, irrespective of how many, does not necessarily mean that it is true.

I particularly liked the last sentence:

"The standing of the USA and the UK as been damaged forever by this stupid and cruel war"

Let's face it Akenaton as far as your perception of the US goes, for as long as you've been toddling round this planet it's standing has been such that it could have passed underneath an earthworm wearin' a lum hat.

"damaged forever" don't you bloody kid yourself, just wait for the next time there's a natural disaster, or if people are threatened and in fear for their lives - Then see who people look to, to pull the coals out of the fire. Give you a hint Akenaton it will not be to France, Germany, Russia or China that people will look, it will be to the anglo-sphere and the good ol' US of A, as always.
