One year after his re-election President Bush governs from a bunker.
"We go forward with complete confidence," he proclaimed in his second
inaugural address. He urged "our youngest citizens" to see the future
"in the determined faces of our soldiers", to choose between "evil" and
"courage". But as he listened that day, Vice-President ***** Cheney knew
the election had been secured by a cover-up.
"I would have wished nothing better," declared Patrick Fitzgerald in
his press conference of October 28 announcing the indictment of I Lewis
"Scooter" Libby, the vice-president's chief of staff, "that, when the
subpoenas were issued in August 2004, witnesses testified then, and we
would have been here in October 2004 instead of October 2005. No one
would have went to jail."
