Seattle man's mission to prosecute Bush
Seattle Times 3/16/09

Ask Bob Alexander how often he's heard the word "quixotic" recently. The approximate answer: all the time.

Of all the people who read Charles Manson prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi's best-selling "The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder," this 57-year-old Seattle coffee merchant is the only one jolted to act on it in a substantial way. The SuperBeans proprietor has become a super-activist.

With the help of a handful of volunteers and donations, Alexander has sent 2,200 copies of Bugliosi's hardcover to prosecutors around the country.

Now he and his volunteers are following up with each one of them by phone and e-mail, as well as gathering signatures for petitions urging the prosecutors to indict the former president.

Two other things Alexander hears: that he's courageous and principle-driven, and that he's an obsessed crackpot.

"Absolutely," he said with a kind of rueful joviality. He hears he's "a Bush-hater, an America-hater." He wouldn't disagree with the former, but Alexander argues that it's only hatred for what's been done in America's name that spurred him to act.

Realistically, Alexander said, "I think there's a very good chance of getting an indictment" if not a murder conviction against a former president.

4.  K n R, Mike Malloy's radio show had a phone interview
:kick: with Bob Alexander, On this very topic. It was during the book shipping phase, as I recall and requests for donations were needed to help out. Great to see someone take action against the criminals. :thumbsup:

8. Lots of times to be kicked
I like the way this guy is going about finding some justice. Going right to those who are paid by the public to find justice.

I hope he finds a big heaping pile of hot searing justice. And that under that hot steaming pile of justice he finds the remains of Bushco.
