Drama puts Bush's Iraq policy on trial
"The United States vs. George W. Bush et al", a courtroom drama written by former Assistant United States Attorney Elizabeth de la Vega, will be presented at 7 p.m. Friday at First Unitarian Church of Honolulu.
The dramatic reading, based on De la Vega's book, addresses the legal issue of whether Bush and his administration are guilty of fraud in deceiving Congress and the American public into going to war in Iraq.
The evidence is presented in dialogue between a federal prosecutor and FBI witnesses before a mock grand jury, to be selected from the audience. At the end, the audience will vote on the 20-page indictment.
The text was abridged for the reading by local author Gene Parola and First Unitarian's minister, the Rev. Mike Young.
The church is at 2500 Pali Highway. Admission is free, but reservations are required. E-mail uuchurch@hawaii.rr.com or call 347-3249.
