BREAKING ALL THE RULES:
Palestine, Iraq, Iran and the Case for Impeachment

By FRANCIS A. BOYLE

WHERE IS EXECUTIVE LAWLESSNESS LEADING AMERICA?

Where is the Bush Administration leading America, with its lies, its
pre-emptive wars, its domestic signing statements overriding the will
of Congress, and its abrogation of constitutional obligations? Is
martial law a possibility in America--or if not in the whole country,
selectively? After all:

 The Posse Comitatus Act has been amended out of meaningful existence

 The Insurrection Act has been amended to permit the president to
federalize the National Guard effectively whenever he deems fit

 The Protect America Act in August basically amended the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act out of existence

 The Levi Guidelines in the Department of Justice to prevent
COINTELPRO and the Watergate abuses were terminated by Ashcroft

 The New Neo-Con Attorney General, Michael Mukasey, refused to condemn
waterboarding as torture

This book compiles the proceedings of the 18th Annual BERTRAND RUSSELL
PEACE LECTURES delivered by international legal expert Francis A. Boyle
at the Centre for Peace Studies, McMaster University, in January, 2007.
Titled "The Legacy of Bertrand Russell: Principle Confronting Power,"
the lectures addressed two subjects of pressing concern:

* Palestine, Palestinians and International Law

* The National Campaign to Impeach President George W. Bush

An extensive Afterword updates the book to the October 17th, 2007 press
conference in which George W. Bush terrorized the world with the
prospect of World War III if the Iranian government were to acquire
even the knowledge to make nuclear weapons.

                               *
Previous Russell Lecturers have included E.P. Thompson, Elena Bonner,
Edward Said, Ramsey Clark, Nobel Peace Prize Winner Joseph Rotblat,
Johan Galtung, and Noam Chomsky.
