BURLINGTON - Charlotte Dennett, the Progressive Party candidate for Vermont attorney general, said Thursday that if elected she would prosecute President Bush for murder.
Dennett, an attorney from Cambridge challenging incumbent Democrat William Sorrell, was joined by Vincent Bugliosi, a famed prosecutor who took on Charles Manson in the early 1970s, at a press conference in downtown Burlington.
Democratic vice-presidential nominee Joe Biden said yesterday that
he and running mate Barack Obama could pursue criminal charges against
the Bush administration if they are elected in November.
Biden's
comments, first reported by ABC news, attracted little notice on a day
dominated by the drama surrounding his Republican counterpart, Alaska
governor Sarah Palin.
But his statements represent the Democrats'
strongest vow so far this year to investigate alleged misdeeds
committed during the Bush years.
