A federal indictment has been drafted naming President George W. Bush and other top administration officials for conspiracy to defraud US Congress and the American people over the need to invade Iraq.
The American people are too narrowly concerned about whether Bush Administration officials lied or not, when in fact, lying is just one type of fraud.
"A scheme to defraud is any plan or course of action that�s intended to deceive another through false pretenses, representations, or promises," according to De la Vega."In addition to outright lies are: false pretenses, false representations, half truths, deliberate concealment of important information, misleading information, and statements made with reckless indifference to their truth."
Too bad it's just a book written by a federal prosecutor.
Thanks for Michelle M giving us a steer to the article in the Atlanta Progressive News!
