In reply to the discussion: GREENWALD: "There's a story from the beginning-I thought would be our biggest- & I'm saving that" [View all]Luminous Animal
(27,310 posts)51. He did write an entire book about Bush's NSA policies which is why Snowden gave the documents to him
How Would A Patriot Act
http://www.amazon.com/How-Would-Patriot-Act-Defending/dp/097794400X
At the heart of these actions, Greenwald saw unprecedented and extremist theories of presidential power, theories that flout the Constitution and make President Bush accountable to no one, and no law.
Here's another book about Bush:
A Tragic Legacy

Glenn Greenwald examines the Bush presidency and its long-term effect on the nation, charting the rise and steep fall of the current administration, dissecting the rhetoric, and revealing the faulty ideals upon which George W. Bush built his policies. Enlightening and eye-opening, this is a powerful look at the man whose incapability and cowboy logic have left America at risk.

Here is another where he slams the entire Republic Party

Great American Hypocrites: Toppling the Big Myths of Republican Politics
Ever since the cowboy image of Ronald Reagan was sold to Americans, the Republican Party has used the same John Wayne imagery to support its candidates and take elections. We all know how they govern, but the right-wing propaganda machine is very adept at hijacking debate and marketing their candidates as effectively as the Marlboro Man.

Great American Hypocrites: Toppling the Big Myths of Republican Politics
For example:
Myth: The Republican nominee is an upstanding, regular guy who shares the values of the common man.
Reality: He divorced his first wife in order to marry a young multimillionaire heiress whose family then funded his political career.
Myth: Republicans are strong on defense and will keep us safe.
Reality: They prey on fears, and their endless wars make America far less secure.
Myth: Republicans are the party of fiscal restraint and small, limited government.
Reality: Soaring deficits, unchecked presidential power, and an increasingly invasive surveillance state are par for their course.

I'm guessing the public is getting pretty satieted on the general topic, and is ready to move on.
