The Torture Trial of George W. Bush

During a dark period in the history of the United States, a few powerful government officials twisted the meaning of our laws and trivialized our human rights principles. This novel peels back the deceitful veneer of political gamesmanship to expose travesties committed against our fundamental human values and the US Constitution.

He made a lunch date with John Mayfield and asked him for help.

At Brian's funeral, Axel invited Timothy to meet him about his dad.  They met in a neighborhood bar and Axel told Tim about Brian's experience in the Viet Cong prison and handed Timothy a letter from his dead father.
