Condi Rice signed a $2.5 million 3-book deal with Crown, a division of Random House.

Rice will combine candid narrative and acute analysis to tell the story of her time in the White House and as America's top diplomat, and her role in protecting American security and shaping foreign policy during the extraordinary period from 2001-2009.

Of course Condi was the National Security Advisor during the campaign of propaganda and lies that defrauded Congress into authorizing the invasion of Iraq. She was one of the most prolific liars, infamously warning Americans "we don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud." At the time, Condi knew full well that Iraq had no nuclear weapons or even a nuclear weapons program.

The unprovoked invasion of Iraq, which was rejected by the United Nations Security Council, was a war crime. The invasion led to further war crimes, including torture and the murder of civilians and journalists. And the American soldiers who were killed or maimed were the victims of Condi's fraud.

In total, the victims of Condi's crimes number in the millions, counting the survivors of those killed. So here's a legal question: can Condi's victims collect damages under the Son of Sam Law, which was specifically written to prevent criminals from profiting from books about their crimes?

The initial obstacle is that Condi has not been charged with any crimes. But that could easily be remedied by a Special Prosecutor or even a local District Attorney using the strategy developed by famed prosecutor Vince Bugliosi.
