Bush-Cheney administration/corruption

Overview

Bush's elevation of presidential power: Bush seems to be trying to completely remove the restraints on presidential power.
Bush's lies: the man has lied repeatedly, on record, with no apology or apparent remorse; he also makes promises and then quietly contradicts them with subsequent actions
Bush's unapologetic use of torture
Bush has "consistently advanced policies contradictory to his professed values" (Is George W. Bush a Conservative? by William Frey, M. D.)
The Bush administration's consistent overlooking of facts which contradict the picture they want to paint:
- It seems likely that people at the top level knew, or should have guessed from the evidence available, that the Yellowcake documents were inaccurate; see Yellowcake forgery
- If Bush honestly believed that Saddam Hussein had WMDs, he was overlooking a lot of reports from his lower-level advisors
