We need an Encyclopedia of Bush Administration Crimes and Atrocities
Is anyone keeping track of all of the crimes, lies, and other assorted atrocities of the Bush Administration? This would be a daunting task to assemble all of these cases into one volumn (or collection). But upon Bush's removal from office (sooner better than later), such a volumn could be in encyclopedia format, broken out by type of transgression.

Just off the top of my head:

Civil Rights
Corralling protesters and arresting without cause
Removing peaceful people from Bush events without cause
Indefinite detainment without due process or access to counsel

Corruption
Appointing industry lobbyists to oversight positions
Appointing donors and their personal friends to important positions
Energy Task Force
Disenfranchisement of voters in Florida 2000
Lack of checks and oversight of Republican-friendly voting machine corporations

Criminal Activity
Leaking of classified information
Domestic spying without a warrant
Use of public money for political propaganda

Environment
"Clear Skies" rollback of air pollution controls
Rollback of mercury controls
Promotion of nuclear energy and hence, waste
Promotion of needless ANWR drilling
Withdrawal from Kyoto Protocol

Failures
Failing to find Osama Bin Laden
Failing to reduce terrorism
Failing to act after Hurricane Katrina
Failing to find and prosecute domestic terrorists
Failure to address global warming

Government Waste
Handling of wartime contracts
Money missing in Iraq
Turning a surplus into the largest debt in history

Lies
Fake news production
Paying journalists for favorable coverage
Manipulation of the media (Miller, et al)
The case for war

War Crimes
Targetting of civilian populations
Targetting of journalists
Indefinite Detainment without trial
Torture and secret facilities for torture
Unwelcome occupation of foreign country
Use of chemical weapons and depleted uranium

etc
etc
etc
etc
etc
etc

Dare I ask: Does anyone know of people or organizations keeping track of all this for the sake of history?
