Can we expect politicians to have complete ethical integrity? Yes,
says philosopher Peter Singer, whose latest book scrutinises the words
and deeds of George Bush - and finds him lacking. He talks to Gary

Given that in previous books he has argued that parents be given the
choice to kill their disabled infants if they are suffering
"unbelievable pain", Peter Singer's latest work is relatively
uncontroversial. The President of Good and Evil: Taking George Bush
Seriously, states, simply, that the president of the United States has
no reliable moral compass. With the scrutiny of a hawk and the
precision of a surgeon, Singer attempts to match the president's own
explicitly stated moral standards - on issues including tax cuts, the
war on terror, gay marriage, abortion, stem-cell research and
euthanasia - to his record in office. On almost all counts, he finds
Bush wanting.
