I thought it might be useful to have an overall list of
actual and even suspected crimes and irregularities promulgated by the
Bush administration, along with links to supporting documents. I started to brainstorm
this myself and decided that
I surely could use some help.
Below marks the beginning of this effort. Already I have received
some additions and corrections from readers. I will continue
to update the list and expand it as I receive more input.
Soon a lot more Americans will begin to wake up to the fact that
we're in trouble and they'll want to catch up on what's been
happening to their country. I welcome your input in helping
me put this together and make it useful. If you know of some group
or individual who is in a better position to host and
manage this project, I would be happy to let go of it.
I will keep this on my web site at this address and update it if you want to send me your contributions
or share the opportunity to do so with others. Thanks for your help: www.gpln.com/treasontimeline.htm
