That’s how I would describe the discussion on Pete’s Big Mouth today. The whole day’s conversation revolved around our guest, Vincent Bugliosi, and his book, The Prosecution Of George W. Bush For Murder. Is Bugliosi right? His argument here, along with many other Americans, is that someone should be responsible for getting us into a war that has cost us trillions of dollars and thousands of lives.

A key issue brought up was that of the Downing Street Memo, where an aide to former Prime Minister Tony Blair said President Bush planned to go to war all along by misleading the public. Plus the Manning Memo, about how Bush wanted a spy plane flown, painted to look like a UN plane over Iraqi air space and hoped it would be shot down, giving him a reason to invade Saddam’s Iraq.

Also, something to think about. Originally, we were going to invade Iraq due to its storing of WMD. When it was later found there were no WMD, we were then going into Iraq to free the Iraqi people. So why are we there? Has being in Iraq really made it better for the country and its people? Civil war and refugees are telling me not. What do you think?

Ladies and gentlemen (and of course, Todd from Florida), Pete’s Big Blog is back! We hope everyone had a better 4th of July than Pete’s three year old daughter, who sadly learned that fireworks are nothing more than, “a cloud of blue smoke.” Bummer.

Great discussion and points made today from all the listener who called and sent in emails. Pete started off the day letting everyone know of tomorrow’s guest, Vincent Bugliosi, author of the new book The Prosecution of George W. Bush For Murder. Pete cannot wait to get Vincent on due to the lack of coverage the New York Times #12 Best Seller is getting from the media. Should the media give Vincent Bugliosi a medium to let the world know his thoughts on President Bush? Should President Bush be prosecuted for murder? And what questions do you have for Pete to ask Vincent tomorrow?

Also Mark Klein, former AT&T Employee, talked with Pete about the Telecom Companies and NSA joining forces to listen in on our phone calls. This struck a nerve with many of the listeners, who brought up some great points, such as, should the people have to give up their civil liberties or should the government be responsible for keeping tabs on “terrorist activity?” “They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security.” ~ Benjamin Franklin. Do you agree?

Let Pete know your answers. Don’t forget to tune into Indie Talks: Fight For Independents from 1-2pm and stayed tuned for Pete’s Big Mouth from 2-5pm tomorrow to hear his interview with Vincent Bugliosi only on Indie Talk, SIRIUS 110.
