GORE
VIDAL,
US novelist,
historian
and social
critic says
the Bush
regime has
killed all
of the
constitutional
links that
made the US
a republic.
On early
Friday
morning Iran
time, in an
exclusive
interview
with Press
TV, Vidal
said that
President
Bush has rid
the country
of the Bill
of Rights,
habeas
corpus and
the entire
legacy of
the Magna
Carta in the
name of war
on terror.
He also
criticized
the House of
Representatives
for not
impeaching
President
Bush, over a
wide array
of subjects
such as
disclosure
of CIA agent
Valerie
Plame's
covert
status.
Vidal did
however
single out
Rep. Dennis
Kuchinich
for drawing
up articles
of
impeachment
against the
president.
Vidal, long
strongly
critical of
the Bush
administration,
said the
administration
has both an
an explicit
and covert
expansionist
agenda.
In his
writings he
has made the
assessment
that for
several
years, the
administration
and its
associates,
many of whom
are magnets
in the oil
and gas
industry
have had
clear aims
to control
the oil of
Central Asia
which is to
follow on
the heels of
gaining
effective
control of
the oil of
the Persian
Gulf--a
project that
took a new
twist with
the Iraqi
invasion of
Kuwait in
1991.
That event
inadvertently
served as
the basis
for the
neo-conservative
American
Project for
the 21st
Century
document and
policy
guideline
that has
been the
hallmark of
the
Bush-Cheney
years.
Regarding
the
September
11, 2001
attacks,
Vidal has
written the
American
intelligence
community
clearly
warned it
was coming
but the
event
provided
political
cover and
pretext for
the plans
that the
administration
already had
in place for
invading
Iraq--plans
that can be
traced to
the waning
days of the
first Bush
family
presidency.
