David Swanson: Forming a More Perfect Union

David Swanson is more than a vocal critic of George Bush and Dick Cheney: He's a leading voice for prosecuting them for war crimesand thats just the legal part of his stance. Swanson, author of Daybreak: Undoing the Imperial Presidency and Forming a More Perfect Union, says a lot more went wrong under Bushs tenure than meets the eye, and it will take more than a new president to create the kind of change we really need. By investigating how Bush and Cheney altered the way American government works and deteriorated the Constitution and Bill of Rights, Swanson lays out a responding plan for reclaiming democracy, declaring our rights, and setting out for a new America.
