Publisher's Synopsis
George W Bush and his administration have a well-documented difficulty with honesty. President Bush lies. He lies frequently. He distorts the truth, changes the facts, and smirks all the while. These 20 original essays detail and document lies both outrageously obvious and subtle. Taking Bush to task for his assault on the intelligence of Americans, the distinguished list of contributors includes academics, activists, legal experts, financial leaders, and journalists. Lies covered include: Iraq and Weapons of Mass Destruction; Foreign Policy; Environment & Energy; Health & Science; The Use and Abuse of Religion; Education; Women and Minority Policies; National Security & 9/11; Bush Campaign Lies, and Pre-Presidential Lies, including Bush's experiences with drunk driving and the controversies and inconsistencies of his National Guard service. Included is a handy reference guide to the 50 Most Telling Lies of George W Bush. Meticulously researched and documented, this book is a must- read for the 2004 presidential race and the book to hand out on the campaign trail.
