- Bush & Cheney: Did They Cheat Justice?

Cheating Justice: The criminal activity of President George W. Bush, and his Vice President Dick Cheney, is the topic of this edition of Radio Curious.
Our guest is Elizabeth Holtzman, author of “Cheating Justice: How Bush and Cheney Attacked the Rule of Law and Plotted to Avoid Prosecution and What We Can Do About It.”
A former District Attorney of Brooklyn New York, and former congresswoman from New York, Holtzman was a member of the House Judiciary Committee that voted to Impeach President Nixon. Her book, Cheating Justice, concludes former president George W. Bush and top members of his administration conspired to violate the laws of the United States. From illegal wiretapping to authorizing torture, Holtzman analyzes what her research shows to be serious criminal acts of the Bush presidency. She asserts that without accountability our democracy is a stake.
Elizabeth Holtzman and I visited by phone from her office in New York City on April 2, 2012, and began when I asked her to describe the crimes set forth in her book.
The book she recommends is "The Hare with Amber Eyes: A Family's Century of Art and Loss," by Edmund De Waal.
