The Case for Impeachment: The Legal Argument for Removing President George W. Bush from Office

It's time to act--and this is the guide. Now in paperback to meet a rising public demand, here is a hard-hitting argument for the impeachment of George W. Bush--and top members of his administration. Events since the book's hardcover release--including court decisions regarding war crimes and violations of the FISA law on wiretapping--have only heightened the urgency.

Methodically detailing the Bush regime's offenses and refuting its lies and deceptions, investigative reporter Dave Lindorff and constitutional rights specialist Barbara Olshansky explain why the president and his inner circle should be removed from office for high crimes and misdemeanors. Among the most grievous harms:

• misleading the nation into war
• authorizing and encouraging the use of torture
• failing in almost every way to defend the homeland and our borders
• undermining habeas corpus and other traditional rights
• illegal NSA wiretapping, mail opening, and other assaults on the Bill of Rights
• the catastrophic federal failure to respond to Hurricane Katrina
