Worse than Watergate

Worse than Watergate

"Worse than Watergate", subtitled "The Secret Presidency of George W. Bush", is a 2004 book by John W. Dean. Dean criticizes the secrecy employed by US President Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney, depriving citizens of the ability to make informed decisions, and draws parallels with the government of Richard Nixon. He also draws attention to potentially serious issues that, as of 2004, had been given a low profile in the US media. In particular, he notes that the 18 March 2003 presidential determination, a condition of the legislation which authorized the 2003 invasion of Iraq, failed to satisfy the terms imposed by Congress and consequently would justify impeachment.
